FEATURE: The Case Study of Vanitas Takes Inspiration from Every Kind of Vampire Story

Image
  The Case Study of Vanitas boasts some fantastical roots — as nearly all vampire stories do — and even has some sci-fi in the mix. Yet the way the series handles vampires makes for one interesting horror story.   In the world of Vanitas , the titular character uses the forbidden grimoire (aptly named The Book of Vanitas) to heal curse bearers — vampires whose true names have been stolen or sullied — and either return them to normal or end their lives if they are beyond saving.     Every vampire in the series has a true name that they must do all they can to protect, otherwise, they will become thirsty for blood, eventually leading to a kill-or-be-killed situation. This was first shown in the very first episode where a young woman's name was stolen, she was saved by being cured by the Book of Vanitas, thus reclaiming her name and returning her to sanity.   Throughout history, bloodlust has been the main point of most vampiric tales. Vampires were originally written and c
