While you are correct in clarifying that vampires are not human, it is wise to consider for a moment that the word "soul" possesses more than one definition. The definition that you are perhaps assuming that I was attempting to utilize was whether they possessed essences. What I was attempting to emphasize is that they while they are inhuman as they are, to some extent, deceased, they still retain most, if not all, of their demeanor that they possessed while they were still human. As much as individuals may desire to contradict me, I am convinced that even when they do complete the metamorphosis from human to vampire, there are, in my opinion, certain aspects of humanity that are too fundamental and pivotal to their individuality to simply vanish. Diminished, perhaps, but eradicated? That I doubt. Of course, that is not to clarify that they are human, but simulataneously, it does not, in my opinion, confirm that they are as distant from their humanity as most would desire to presume.
