Vampires existed long before the church. They just have a brain disorder that gives them a seizure when they see straight right angles. Right angles don’t really exist in nature. Humans found out this and started making crosses. Humans created the church to maintain this knowledge during the vampires long hibernation periods of around 1000 years. (Credit to author Peter Watts “Blindside”)
Brutalist architecture should be super effective against vampires.
Also IKEA furniture.
Bismuth would like a word.
came here to say that, also salt crystals
Nah, vampires only hibernated a generation or two. Just long enough for prey populations to grow back to sustainable levels, and just long enough forget them and begin to scoff at grandma's crazy campfire tales.

And yes, it's hard science fiction. With a vampire ship captain. Seriously.
Many versions free on the author's site. Give the prologue a spin.

Is this some JoJo lore or some shit?
Great book. Sequel is good too.
