I was crazy about those "Dark Shadows" boys -- Jonathan Frid as Barnabas
(the vampire) and David Selby as Quentin (the werewolf).  (This was the late
1960's, for anyone who's counting.)  They got me started on a whole
supernatural phase in my teens.  What IS that whole thing about vampires and
sex?  All the vamp stories I read nowadays, the undead are irresistibly sexy
and fantastic in the sack.  Having sex with cold dead people... really?  Why
is there that paradox?

I was also crazy about Mr. Spock.  I understand there is an entire "Mr.
Spock Syndrome" in literature & television : lusting after the untouchable
unattainable man.  (see Ramses Emerson, you Elizabeth Peters fans!)
