In the 1990s I was very involved in the horror community -- serving two years as president of HWA should make that obvious -- so I wanted to have my work visible in all the major horror markets. One of those was Cemetery Dance. I didn't have any particularly brilliant ideas for a story that would suit CD, though.
As I recall, what eventually happened was that I heard someone complaining about how much horror was about either vampires or serial killers, whereupon I asked myself, "Why 'or,' and not 'and'?"
"Blood Feud" was the result, and it sold to CD, which made me happy.
