  26. Monstrosity conclusion “Richards didn’t need a PhD in microbiology to know that it was risky stuff: vampire stuff, though no one at Special Weapons ever used the word…. But still, something about it hit a nerve. As a kid Richards had read his share of such stories, not just the comic books – Tales From the Crypt and Dark Shadows and all the rest – but the original Bram Stoker, and seen the movies too. A bunch of silliness and bad sex, he knew that even then, and yet wasn’t there something about them that struck a deep chord of recognition, even of memory? The teeth, the blood hunger, the immortal union with darkness – what if these things weren’t fantasy but recollection or even instinct, a feeling etched over eons into human DNA, of some dark power that lay within the human animal? A power that could be reactivated, refined, brought under control?” -Justin Cronin Respond to the following quote.
