Your eyes do not deceive you. This is not a vampire booth at E3 or Comic-Con; this is the big-kahuna of specialized conventions, and with the new cycle of vampire hype, there could not be a more perfect time for a convention of this gourmet delicacy to be served to us on a silver platter. Whether you are a Twilight inductee, or a Dracula master, this convention is bound to offer you a hot shower to warm that pale skin of yours.
