Steve Wohlberg, occult researcher and bestselling author, has come out against Twilight in his new book The Trouble with Twilight: Why Today’s Vampire Craze is Hazardous to Your Health. In the book he states, “Twilight has positive features, but it is laced with occultism, contains mixed moral messages, and is now fueling the dangerous practice of sipping real blood among teens and adults.”

While many in the community have noticed an increased interest in Real Vampirism over the last few years due to the vampire craze becoming more active, the Twilight Saga is not the only contributing factor. Many vampire movies, books, and television shows have come to light in the last few years which cater to all types of people. I think it would be detrimental to the vampire community to automatically assume that the Twilight Saga is the reason for many of the fractures noticed between groups of vampires.

I leave you with one more quote from AvoidTwilight.com:

“In fiction, the vampire denotes power, sexuality, romance, and immortality; but in reality those who experiment with occultism, witchcraft, and drinking blood can easily slip through an alluring doorway into darkness, immorality,  and despair. Buyer, beware!” – Steve Wohlberg
