I visited Hawaii about five years ago and I became a Hawaiian nut, I read everything that I could find about these magnificent Islands. I even grow pineapples, I live in Illinois and I successfully grow pineapples. When my daughter and just about everyone else seemed to be consumed with vampires, something clicked. The mythologies of Hawaii and vampire's lore are a perfect blend. The question is why a vampire would go to a tropical paradise best known for its magnificent sunshine. Absolution is the answer, a complex troubled vampire seeking his own absolution. Vampires have long been intertwined with Christianity, absolution of sins is a tenant of Christianity and many of Hawaii's ancient sites are known for sanctuary and absolution, tying together vampires and Hawaii.view less
