What's with the 'Y'?

Why vamp'y'er and not vamp'i're?

It's the authors way of being "unique".
Or it has some kind of mythological background, such as a specific origin.

It should be Vampire

I think it looks kinda cool spelled Vampyre.

[Phoebe Fitz-Gerald]

isnt it like a different language or old fashioned or something?..

It was just a personal choice the author made. The word can be spelled either way, same with dhampir and dhampyr. It doesn't matter how you spell it. They're both the same. Whichever you like more is the one you can use.
