#HorrorCommunity Inviting Stoker Inside: 🦇 🧛 My Tribute to Dracula in "Vampire Verses" Interview by Marge Simon 🎨 b/w art by @giuliadrawsstuff.bsky.social @dmcwriter.bsky.social @twisteddreamspress.bsky.social @hwany.org @gnofhorror.com thealtruistnewsletter.substack.com/p/blood-and-...

Kate Norrish: “Dracula” (1897) usually surprises. Part of that may be that the appeal of the book is not Dracula as a character & part may be that the plot is bonkers. #ICYMI The appeal of “DRACULA BEFORE STOKER: The Prequel” is hearing directly from Dracula & Countess Voichita, his sister.

what do you call that look that ppl give you when you say you write poetry? it's a bit of a recoil, a pitying half smile, eyes caught mid-roll. an apology and character judgement made in the same instant.
