Vampires

This is the 50th book in the original Hardy Boys Mystery Series which ran from 1927 to 1979 and was, along with the Nancy Drew, Tom Swift and Bobbsey Twins series, part of the Stratemeyer Syndicate. Like "Carolyn Keene" of the Nancy Drew series, "Franklin W. Dixon" is a pen name used by several different people over time. The usual modus operandi was for the contracted author to write the book according to an outline provided by the Syndicate. The present book was written by Andrew Svenson and published in 1971.*

The series features brothers Frank and Joe Hardy, 18 and 17 years old respectively, whose father, Fenton Hardy, is a former New York City police officer and world-renowned detective. With their friends, chubby Chet Morton and sometimes lanky Biff Hooper, Phil Cohen, Tony Prito and Jerry Gilroy, Frank and Joe solve mysteries involving smugglers, counterfeiters and others who don't contribute productively to society at large in Bayport, a port town somewhere on the Eastern U.S. seaboard.

Fenton enlists the boys' help in cracking a scam involving counterfeit Magnacard swindles. The cards are generally issued to high-income people only. Purchases made with the counterfeit cards seem to involve a lot of sporting goods-like the tent camper that Chet has just purchased at a steep discount with all his hard-earned savings. Part of the scam is to sell big ticket items to unsuspecting marks before the merchants realize they've been taken. Immediately one of the bad'uns is identified as Archibald "Whip" Lasher, a con man with a penchant for the outdoors. (Hard to read that name and not be reminded of the late poet Archibald MacLeish, though I see no connection other than the similarity in names).

The boys had been talking about going camping, anyway, and Fenton suggests they take the opportunity to visit public campsites to track down outdoors men/con men on their way west. Before they leave, they ask their mother if there is anything they can bring back for her. She answers that she'd like a sapphire, her birthstone.

Along for the trip with the brothers are Chet-who made a deal with the merchant for the hot tent trailer-Biff Hooper and Biff's bloodhound, Sherlock. Setbacks dog... er, the boys experience vexations and delays from the start, including getting stopped for hauling a stolen tent trailer, camping in a farmer's field without his permission, and getting four flats overnight on their convertible where a practical joker saw fit to remove the valve cores. (How did the guys sleep through that?)

During a talent show at a public campground, Joe plays a guitar, Biff the harmonica and Chet a jews' harp, something he's just taken up. A guy on a dirt bike named "Vampire Trail" apparently takes exception to their performance, rushes the little amphitheater and ends up smashing Joe's guitar. The next day, the group traces the rider, named "Juice" apparently for his orange soda habit, to his campsite. Joe sees a guitar he'll take until his is replaced. "Go ahead," Juice warns them, "but Fingers won't like it."

A shuffle later ensues between our heroes and Juice and his two friends, in which the second guitar is smashed, revealing rough sapphires glued within its body. If the reader needed anymore proof that Juice and his buddies are crooks, here it is. But how are they tied up with the Magnacard scam?

In addition to being the name of Juice's bike, "Vampire Trail" is also a trail off a campground in the Colorado Rockies where it's said that people have been attacked by vampire bats. Even Joe comes away one night with a welt on his neck. But vampire bats only live in Central and South America, right? As any veteran watcher of "Scooby Doo" cartoons will tell you, this must mean that some bad'uns don't want the public to know what's going on up on Vampire Trail.

While the plot is extremely unlikely, the road trip aspect is rather fun. The boys meet different people on the way and in the campsites, most of whom are average Joes. One character that was rather entertaining, if out of place, was a guy who held court in a trailer with a psychedelic paint job and called himself Prince Cuthbert. He claimed to be descendant of King Arthur and dressed in royal robes and a crown.

As silly and as unlikely as the plot of the book is, it was entertaining and fun simply by virtue of the road trip and the camping, something I enjoy in real life, even without Chet as cook. For this, I will recommend it

Aro Volturi was transformed into a vampire at around 40 years old.

in stories vampires get their fangs from the age of 13,but some belive vampires have no fangs,but their canines grow sharper from when they are 13.

The school in Vampire Diaries is called Mystic Falls High School. It's where all the drama, romance, and supernatural shenanigans go down. Just make sure you watch your back around those vampires and werewolves, honey.

Vampire books fall under the genre of supernatural fiction, often categorized within the broader genres of horror or fantasy. These books typically revolve around vampires as central characters and explore themes of immortality, love, and the supernatural.

Werewolves

Why well its simple a vampire is a carcass/dead body.Even if you see (movies) they try to make vampires and werewolves equale its not true.Werewolves are live bodys able to turn into a well (werewolf) they are way bigger than a vampire.Pluss werewolves are fast with there long leggs and strangth they are faster than a vampire.To add more werewolves having there huge jaws and long teeth are much stronger,and that sence a vampire is a dead body they are more easyer to brake so there bite may be strong but not as strong as werewolf pluss sence there dead there teeth are easyer to brake.Also a werewolf in a fight with a vampire you can tell the werewolf would win if these things were real the werewolves strangth speed and the fact that they have so much power could overpower a vampire.The only problem with a werewolf catching a vampire is that vampires are so tiny compaired to a werewolf it is hard to grave when there running around.But all in all a werewolf compaired to a vampire is way stronger,faster,bigger,harder bite and power is stronger than a vampire.

Vampires are fictional creatures that do not exist in reality. They are often portrayed in folklore and literature as immortal beings who drink blood to survive.

In "Spirit Bound," the fifth book in the Vampire Academy series, Rose Hathaway sets out to rescue her love, Dimitri Belikov, from being a Strigoi. Along the way, she faces many challenges, including encountering a new enemy and making difficult decisions. The book also delves deeper into the dynamics of relationships among the characters.

In flashbacks, Stefan and Damon recall the long-ago actions taken by townspeople including their father, Giuseppe Salvatore, and Pearl, leading to the devastating events that caused the rift in their relationship. In the present, Bonnie's date with Ben takes a frightening turn. Elena helps Stefan as he and Damon race to find the missing journal that belonged to Elena's ancestor. Stefan learns the reason behind Alaric's interest in both the journal and the town's history. Damon discovers that an old acquaintance has returned to town with an agenda he understands.

To get a drop of blood from a vampire, you would have to use methods depicted in folklore and fiction, such as using a silver blade to make a small incision. However, vampires are fictional creatures, so it is impossible to obtain blood from them in reality.

they can. but since it does no good for them, they simply don't eat nor drink human food. in the book it metitons edward drinking water, eating the wedding cake, and other examples i do not remember.

Yes, older episodes of Vampire Diaries may be available for streaming on platforms like Netflix, Hulu, or the CW's official website. Alternatively, you can purchase or rent episodes through services like Amazon Prime Video or iTunes.

cuz they're not real, myths, scary stories

I appreciate your request, but unfortunately, Edward from Twilight is a fictional character and cannot receive emails. If you have any other questions or need assistance, feel free to ask!

that's a corpse that bloats not vampires

There is a continuum between zombies and vampires. A zombie is a dead body that has been reanimated but lacks the ability to 'heal' so it eventually decays and disintegrates. Bloating is part of this process. Vampires we usually consider to be those reanimated corpses that are capable of 'healing' and they only get bloated when they have gorged themselves on blood or whatever.

Count Dracula after a good feed was said to be a bit bloated and full of life.

Dracula by Bram Stoker

Paul Roulet's body was said to be bloated to monstrous proportions after centuries of feeding off of the inhabitants of the house built above him.

The Shunned House by H. P. Lovecraft.

Between these two extremes there are 'degrees' on the continuum where both of these conditions overlap. Such creatures would be susceptible to all sorts of infections and fungal attack and bloating might be one of their characteristics.

Because Elene exchanged blood with Stephan and Damon, she the get's killed by Katherine (in a storm, drowning in a car). But because of the vampire blood in her body she turns into a vampire. So the change to vampire was an accident.

Vampires are not real but regular vampires are better.

They don't sparkle like fairies.

They have fangs.

They're more fearsome, awesome, cooler, and dangerous.

Good day.

Vampires are often depicted as seductive and alluring creatures who prey on their victims, and traditionally, the image of a vulnerable woman being attacked by a vampire adds to the sense of danger and suspense in vampire folklore and storytelling. This trope has been perpetuated through various forms of media over time, contributing to the association of vampires specifically targeting women in popular culture.

This phrase is lyric from the song "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" by the Smashing Pumpkins. It suggests a feeling of the world or society consuming or draining one's energy or spirit, reflecting the struggles and hardships of life. It's a metaphor for the challenges and negativity that can feel overwhelming at times.

no they are not their real names. Elena Gilbert: Nina dobrev. Damon salvatore: ian somerhalder. stefan salvatore: paul wesley.

There have been no documented cases of vampires attacking Austria or any other country. Vampires are mythical beings from folklore and fiction, not real creatures. They are not known to exist in reality.

In Vampire Academy, the promise mark is a symbol of a promise made between two Moroi individuals. It is a magical bond that is formed when one Moroi swears to protect and guard another, often used between a vampire and their guardian. The promise mark allows the guardian to sense the well-being and location of the person they are bonded to.

In 'Nightfall' he receives a message from Damon (who's possessed by a malach) saying that there's a place called 'Shi no Shi' ('Death Of Death'), where he will be returned to his human state.

It's a trap and he ends up prisoner of Sinichi and his sister. Elena has to find both pieces of a key that will free him.

Nina Dobrev is the actress who portrays Elena Gilbert in The Vampire Diaries.

Not really, I started with the second book and I got the gist of what was happening. Of course it's better to go in order to understand everything better, but you don't have to. Hope this answers your question:)
