Der letzte Vampir

The vampires in this story feel complex and morally ambiguous. I wonder what inspired the shift from traditional horror to this more nuanced view.

The nonstop action kept me on the edge of my seat, but I kept wondering if slower moments were intentionally left out to build tension. What do others think?

The bleak, gritty environment really enhances the horror elements. I'm curious whether the author envisioned this world from the start or if it evolved during writing.
