So, let's see if I understand this.

In this book you're writing, you want to prove :

a) the existence of vampires
b) the existence of aliens
and
c) that the two are one in the same.



Basically, you're taking two very active and highly mediacised pop culture genres, both of which, on the surface, have little to no actual evidence of their existence, and prove that they are both actually the same thing.

Well, for your impossible task, I'd suggest firstly, getting your "proof/truth" of aliens - you know, that one single thing that virtually everyone on ATS is striving for.

Once you have that one, you can forget writing about the vampires bit as publishing your "proof" of aliens will make you rich enough


EDIT: When I said little to no actual evidence of their existence, I'm referring to the fact that there's no empirical data to prove they exist - that isn't to say they do not, but dodgy, grainy film, zoomed in pixelised images and a-friend-of-a-friend accounts are not evidence. At least not enough to write a tie-all-together book. You'll have a far easier time and more widely accepted book keeping it to aliens, IMO.

I suppose most believers in mysterious beasts and aliens would like to see them as flesh and blood. They would very much prefer the material side of the Cartesian split between spirit and matter, which would then also be provable according to physical science. According to Christian mythology demons are non-material spiritual beings, or fallen angels. It is believed that powerful demons possess certain people and cause actual flesh and blood physical changes that cause bloodlust, telepathy or subhuman strengths in vampires. According to Brown, the were-beast and vampire are used for discipline, and to invoke terror in satanic covens.
Icke and the followers of the alien/reptilian agenda would actually second much of this, with the difference being that the "demons" are themselves metaphors for reptoid aliens (for Brown the metaphor would be vice-versa ie, reptilian aliens are demons). In Icke's "The Biggest Secret" he argues that a variety of reptoid are physical or non-physical beings from the sixth dimension. Some shape-shifters are humans/alien hybrids, while other possess people by attaching to their chakras. To both Brown and Icke the bloodthirsty "satanic" rituals are a means of conjuring the aliens to manifest and take posession of the material.
At least the alien-demon-vampire connection is more interesting in such material than modern cliches of vampirism as some from of virus (although the virus is another "unseen" force that causes changes in humans, and remains mysterious to non-scientists).
