The authors are stating “Polidori gave birth to the two main branches of vampiric fiction: the vampire as romantic hero and the vampire as undead monster” (Del Toro and Hogan 36).
The authors are explainng about two different monsters, one of them is romantic and the other is more of a dangerous monster. The two different types of vampires make you feel loved and the other makes you feel scared.
I think the authors is trying to say that there two types of people in this world. One is is trusting and loving and the other is trying to scare us and harm us.
