Absolutely right....... well up until you say that these blood suckers are "Aliens".
From a literary perspective your "alien" slant will probably have the best chance at getting published.
The movie "Predator" starring Cousin Arnold was based on a Jewish myth that the Fallen Angels hunted humans for "food". The movie stopped short by
portraying the "Predators" as trophy head hunters.
Here are a few verses that indicate how drinking blood is indeed "alien" and an anathema to humans.
And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my
face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it
to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. Therefore I said unto the
children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood. And whatsoever man there be of the
children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out
the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the
children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut
off. (Lev 17:10-14)
Now the reason why "they" eat flesh and drink blood...... is positively illuminating.... and downright freaky.
