Joe: All vampire stories are based on an absurd set of premises  Since, according to such stories, every victim of a vampire becomes a vampire, and vampires have existed since ancient times and are immortal, vampires would by now have almost completely eliminated their prey  Maria: In most of the vampire stories I am familiar with, vampires tum only a few of their victims into vampires
The rest are permanently dead
Vampires are always depicted in vampire stories as immortal.
