Answer: Newspaper photographer

Otto gets the job of photographer at the Ankh-Morpork Times in Terry Pratchett's 25th "Discworld" novel "The Truth", first published in 2000. He has an unfortunate tendency to explode into dust whenever his flash goes off, but doesn't let that stop him taking pictures.

7. Rose Hathaway is a dhampir - half human, half vampire. She is both schoolmate and bodyguard to her full vampire best friend. Who is this friend?

Answer: Lissa

Lissa isn't just any vampire, she is a Moroi Princess. Rose's job is to help keep her safe from the evil Strigoi. Their story begins in the eponymous first of the "Vampire Academy" novels by Richelle Mead, published in 2007.

9. One of the earliest 'romantic vampire' tales was "The Vampyre", published in 1819. The vampyre in question is Lord Ruthven, but who is his alter ego in the book?

Answer: Earl of Marsden

"The Vampyre" was originally attributed to Lord Byron, but was actually written by John William Polidori. It was begun during the same 'house party' in Italy that inspired Mary Shelley to write "Frankenstein".

10. In the "Sookie Stackhouse" series by Charlaine Harris, who was Bubba before he became a vampire?

Answer: Elvis Presley

Bubba was/is Elvis, but it is not wise to remind him of this as he gets 'upset'. The story goes that he was 'turned' by a devoted fan vampire who was working at the morgue, but it was almost too late and the process went awry. This produced 'Bubba' the vampire.
The "Sookie Stackhouse" books were made into the HBO television show "True Blood", starting in 2008.
