	The vampire novel, especially, has largely escaped the cautionary tale imposed by patriarchic voices. The modern genre more often than not celebrates female embrace of vampiric sexuality and, instead of being punished by eternal damnation, the women who make this leap of faith are rewarded with psychic powers, more or less eternal life, and a mate who is magically guaranteed to be forever faithful to his marriage vows, a good husband and devoted father, and very, very rich.

	And then there's [[Buffy]].		And then there's [[Buffy]].

	''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' started life as a movie, playing in theaters across North America and eventually the world. It was reborn as a long-running TV series (1997-2003) with a spinoff, ''[[Angel]]'' (1999-2004), that lasted five seasons in its own right. Buffy too is eventually enraptured by the dark sensuality of the vampire, and her relationships with Angel, and with Spike, tested the patience of her companions and advisors and created endless plot complications. She has a sexual relationship with Angel and right away he loses the soul he'd been cursed with and becomes a murderous villain again. Talk about your date from Hell! Her relationship with Spike is more understated, but Spike actually falls in love with Buffy and undergoes torments and trials to regain his soul, all to prove himself a man in Buffy's eyes.
