A Romantic Among Bloodsuckers

Am I the only person who doesn’t find blood-sucking sexy? Is it only me who has no interest in being seduced by dog-like humans or human-like dogs? 

However, the fact that Dr. John Polidori's 1819 short story "The Vampyre," was inspired by his sexually adventurous, voraciously passionate and fearlessly poetic patient Lord Byron is just damn sexy. 

Do you think the teens would notice if I slipped a little Lord Byron in with their copies of Twilight and Vampire Academy? (Such an inappropriate thought for a public librarian.)
