Bite me!
I recently read Bram Stoker's Dracula, which I'd been meaning to read for a while and finally got around to because of how much I ended up loving Elizabeth Kostova's The Historian. Anyway, I spent most of the book shipping wildly. Dracula/Jonathan, Mina/Lucy, Arthur/Quincey Morris and possibly Dr. Seward/VonHelsing. Mostly though, I enjoyed Jonathan being trapped in Dracula's castle. Isn't being trapped in the villain's large spooky house usually the fate of the beautiful young heroines of gothic novels? Oh, vampires and their nearly automatic homoeroticism.

Anyway, none of the forgoing is actually the point. I want to talk about biting. See, in most vampire books/shows/etc. it seems to me that vampire bites (at least the ones that leave two puncture marks as evidence come from the upper incisors, which usually grow extra long and pointy when the vampires "vamp out." Sometiems, these fangs are more like needles. But in Dracula the evidence of a bite is two small puncture marks very close together that looks almost like a rat bite. This is because the vampires bite people by pinching a fold of skin between the upper and lower incisors. Considering the novel essentially kicked off the whole genre, you'd think that this would be a more popular biting method, but I can't think of any other examples. Thoughts?
