This post begins: Vampires from Space is not a new idea. Science Fiction has always felt a bond with Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897) just as it did with Frankenstein (1818). The big difference between the two is that Frankenstein is an actual SF novel while Dracula is not. This hasn’t stopped SF writers from offering fantastic space creatures or the creations of mad scientist that drink blood. They may not be Transylvanian or even human in form, but the Pulps gave us some great Space Vampires.

You didn’t convey the irony of the Frederic Brown short-short. It was not broadly that the future life was plant based, but that it evolved from the turnip (and you can’t get blood from one!)

I like to leave some surprises!
