BREAKING NEWS! Ten Vampires Caught Robbing Bank; Claimed It Was for Rare First Editions

Shadow Hollow, Transylvania County – In what local authorities are calling a "particularly literary heist," a gang of ten well-dressed vampires were apprehended last night attempting to rob the Shadow Hollow Bank & Book Exchange. Their goal? Not gold, but books—rare first editions of Dracula, Interview with the Vampire, and a suspiciously signed copy of Twilight.

Witnesses say the vampires used charm, fog, and at least one bat to slip past the guards and into the rare book vault. "One of them offered me a blind date with a book," said security guard Gerald Whitman. "I almost fell for it."

The group, known as the Velvet Fang Society, reportedly believes in “redistributing stories to the undead.” Police found copies of The Secret Chapter’s signature mystery packages at the scene, leading some to believe the heist may have been inspired by the shop’s growing underground fanbase.

No injuries were reported, though a local librarian fainted after being told a 300-year-old vampire wanted to join her book club.

Authorities recommend keeping your first editions under lock and coffin, and remind citizens to beware charming strangers offering mysterious reading experiences after dusk.
