Vampira

I bought a book on Vampira (https://www.amazon.com/Vampira-Goddess-W-Scott-Poole/dp/1593765436/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1OGT9IZTUFSB1&keywords=vampira+dark+goddess+of+horror&qid=1558222876&s=gateway&sprefix=vampira+dark+g%2Cstripbooks-intl-ship%2C171&sr=8-1-spell).  I bought that book out of curiosity.  I know little on Vampira.  I know she is the precursor of Elvira; Vampira had a legal battle against Elvira and that Vampira had an alledged relationship with James Dean.  So, she was a femme fatale.  I don't know if she was the first but she wasn't definitively the last.  I just hope to learn more about that character and her time.

I like to go to the source of things.  In that dark femme fatale thread, I don't know if Vampira is among the first ones.  I am willing to expand my knowledge and see where it will lead.  I am doing this out of curiosity.  Maybe I will find a practical side to this, an inspiration.  I am more interested to put my twist into characters and events but not spot on copy.  I may makes an reference to someone or a place but it is a tiny part of what I am writing.

I don't know if it was syncronicity for me and that book to stumble on each other path.  It is sometime strange how stumbling into something new set something else into motion.
