Looks very interesting. Can't help feeling like it reminds me of True Blood.

I admit I've never watched True Blood so I can't compare but I love your description and title. This is totally something I would read:)
Faeries became popular in literary circles when John Keats and, later, William Butler Yeats, wrote about them, most memorably in Keats' "La Belle Dame Sans Merci." Bottom line, though, is that they specialize in either children (Yeats' poetry) or in love-lost knights (Keats). Vampires, on the other hand, appear in literature perhaps two thousand years before, and either suck the living blood out of you (East European vampires) or suck the living life-force out of you (North and South American, especially New England, vampires, and in China and India). Vampires appeared, therefore, at least a thousand years before, and they kill everyone, and everything, including livestock and plants. So, my money's on the vampires.
