A Taste of Blood Review: Family, Vampires, and Tough Decisions

The vampire story. Its origins are murky, although many would associate it with the literature, art, and cinema that brought the beloved characters like Dracula to life. Whispers of such a horrifying creature arose with the Middle Ages and the rise of the plague in feudal societies. Victims of the plague often sported a mouth dripping with blood, fueling the fears that they may be otherworldly creatures who have come to suck the blood of innocent people. But like many other mythological creatures, the story of vampirism has proven itself to be immortal, reaching all new heights with the release of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
