I like it as well.  It /does/ raise the question of how the /hell/ Dracula
ever got published, of course.

If a Vampire could find a partner who could remember them for whatever
reason, they'd be the ultimate thief and/or assassin.  Sneaking is
irrelevant if you're invisible to machines and ignored by people.

(The partner would be their contact with the outside world, to get
contracts or the like).
