> I never watched Buffy :-). Did Angel or Spike sleep in coffins :-)? I've always found sleeping in coffins silly, although I read only one other book about vampires - "Interview with the Vampire". I'm not much into it...

Angel did spend a lot of time in a mausoleum.  Does that count?  :)  I
loved Angel (not the show but the character), but I'm a sucker for the
"man against himself" story (just has a lot more appeal for me than
the external "man against man" or "man against nature" stories).
Angel is definitely a part of the new age reimagining of the vampire
as a monster struggling against his nature, so if that's your thing,
it's worth checking out.

I do agree about that sleeping in coffins thing, though, but I can
understand it.  Coffins do go along with the rising from the dead
element of the mythos.
