Actually my first impression was "gym bunny in a Dracula cape."
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Because books.
Well, if Spike had had a sandwich. Or eaten bodybuilders while the creatine was still in their bloodstream...
Snerk.

Well, yeah, bulkier. But still enough of a resemblance to make me all eye-rolly.
Of course, bare chest with cape makes me roll my eyes forever all by itself.

OK, in bad cover land:
Oh dear.
And people wonder why I'm so afraid of reading any vampire romance novels.

As well it should.

t worries that if I sell The Novel, they'll find a way to get Jack bare-chested and be-caped on the cover despite the fact he is invariably capeless, and only shirtless when actually having sex, and sometimes not even then

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
The only vampire romance I've read that I enjoyed (I've not read the Christine Feehan books, which I've heard are supposed to be good) was a Harlequin American book called Love Bites. Being a Harlequin, it's a bit thin in parts, but overall a very entertaining book.

See, that looked way too much like Brad Pitt during his bleached period.
Is it a vampire novel, or is he just randomly naked-with-cape?

No, it's vampire. Regency vampire.
And I can see the Bradness--he's sort of a BP-JM hybrid.

Thrive to spite them
I checked out a gay vampire romance novel from the library once. I think I posted about it, it was very bad. The cover was fairly tame, one guy standing behind this other guy wearing a leather jacket and no shirt.
