Actually my first impression was "gym bunny in a Dracula cape."
I got stabbed, you know, right here.

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...

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.
