Y'know, this doesn't sound like a half-bad story: a horror story with the twist that it's a vampire terrified as the mortals come to kill him.
Hmm. You should give that a try, actually. IIRC, the story I recall was mostly through the vamp's POV with some possible bits of third-person omniscient, though it can be tricky to tell the difference when there's telepathy involved, but he was pretty much arrogant and self-assured until the last paragraph. (I think he was on vacation from the Big City, slumming around for exotic ethnic cuisine out in the sticks. Don't remember anything about him being on the run, but then it's been years since I read it. I really ought to scoop up that antho the next time I go home, if it's still there, but then I've had an entire bookcase in that category for years now, getting slowly whittled away as even so often, my mother decides that she needs more room for her sewing notions, causing my entire set of Elfquest graphic novels (the Starblaze set based on the hand-colored masters, not the later Marvel reprints) to disappear argh.
