You may think of Dracula’s fangs or Edward Cullen’s sparkle when you think of vampires. With their dark and brooding energy, they’re definitely the most alluring mythical creatures out there.
Stories and warnings about these blood-sucking creatures have been told in Eastern Europe for centuries. This is why vampire names like Vlad or Natasha often sound older and more Russian, Romanian or Slavic.
