Love that this suggests that for vampires, it's all in their head

Loony Toons logic. You won’t fall until you realize you should be falling.

That’s what Terry Pratchett’s Carpe Jugulum tells us. With sufficient exposure and willpower vampires (or “vampyres” as this more modern variety calls themselves) can become immune to sunlight and holy symbols!

Out of those 41 books, that one's a fav.

[-] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

Man, they’re all a fav. I’m finishing up a full read-through, and until The Embuggerance every book seemed better than the one before it. Even after The Embuggerance they’re still excellent.

GNU Terry Pratchett

Also a plot point of an older also amazing book (spoiler alert?)

!Richard Mattheson's I Am Legend. Not even close to the same as the movie!<
