What could be more romantic than creating a species of vampire that has a full range of fragile human emotions. While the concept of vampires is centuries old, the concept of emo vampires is fairly new. But what is an emo vampire and how do they compare to other types of vampires?

An emo is a certain type of person who listens to melodramatic sometimes screamed lyrics of intense emotional torment and typically dresses in dark colors with a side swooping bang that covers one eye. While this isn’t true for all emos, many people of the emo subculture are generally depressed and enjoy writing poetry to convey their emotional thoughts and feelings. Many argue that emo is a type of music and scene is the style that’s derived from it, but the fact of the matter is that it was all encompassed under the word ‘emo’ to begin with.

In fiction literature, vampires are often depicted as fierce predators void of most compassionate human emotions. How else would they be able to kill people unless they had somehow managed to detach themselves from their human counterparts. Historically though, it has been written time and time again that the one human emotion that most vampires keep close at heart is love.

Now let’s combine the two and see what we come up with. Emo vampires would likely be on one or the other side of the spectrum, either thrilled at killing all who opposed them or clinging to the human emotions that would cause taking another life to be incredibly traumatic for them. Obviously, the later of the two would make a more interesting internal struggle.

While vampires have recently renewed captivation in the hearts of teenagers and adults alike, emo vampires have yet to push their way onto the stage. Perhaps the two will never be combined in popular fiction, but it would certainly be an interesting thing to see.

While there aren’t many emo books in the marketplace, the ones that are available typically fall into 3 different types. These types are books that help parents understand what emo is, books that teach teenagers how to be emo, and emo fiction. Each one has its own unique elements which I’ll explain below.

Emo Books for Parents

When the emo craze took the world by storm, there was a lot of parental concern associated with all of the negative stereotypes of the culture. Dressing in all black, being generally over emotional, and self harming all gave parents a reason to feel concerned as to whether being emo was just a phase of self expression or a slow decline of mental illness. A few brave authors decided to take the bull by the horns and write manuals explaining to parents what exactly emo is, where it came from, and whether or not parents should be worried about their children’s safety because of it.

Emo Books for Teenagers

How to be emo? It’s surprisingly a widely searched phrase on the internet. Needless to say, there is a market for selling the ins and outs of the culture in a perfectly packaged book. That’s not to say that many parents would want their children to buy such a book, but there are certainly books out there that explain what exactly the emo culture is and how to obtain the style.

Emo Fiction

Emo fiction is like any other genre of fiction except that the characters are based off of emo culture. Having said that, sometimes people of the emo culture can more easily relate to the characters that they believe to share their same style and interests. There are a few emo books on the market that follow the lives of emos, some of which are rather popular.

Your favorite type of book will depend on what you’re into or what you need to know. Parents will obviously be more inclined to pick up a book relating to their concerns and understanding their child better. Teenagers looking to convert over to the emo style will be more interested in a ‘how to’ type of book. And those that are already of the culture would probably have the most interest in emo fiction.
