"Well, I have kind of a Dracula fetish," I said by way of explanation to the book seller in the speculative fiction section at BookPeople tonight.
"I'm getting that," he replied, and then went on to chat me up about all manner of books Drac, including a few that aren't in print and a Van Helsing anthology that the store doesn't currently have in stock. The emphasis being on what I wanted to read more than what he had available to sell (not that the selection isn't stellar because it is).
The whole thing was very "Miracle on 34th Street" by way of Transylvania.
