Does anyone have good online resources for vampires in film? Preferably text based (articles and the like) but other stuff also welcome. Working on something for @divinationhollow.bsky.social!

Another book review today, this one for a book, I warn, is NOT A ROMANCE (but is a love story!). It is, however, very good, and one I think deserves more love

Another book review today, and this comes to us from @elleturpitt.bsky.social, who loved S.H. Cooper's Bottling His Ghosts.

What did Grok do describe someone who isn't trans as cis?

Monday Moods time, and this week, I'm in the mood for something Magical

Something I truly love about editing is how it's such a collaborative process - it's not about changing a writer's words, it's about helping a writer ensure their 'vision' is clear on the page, that they're getting across exactly what they want to get across. I think sometimes when we're writing...

If you're looking for an editor - I don't use AI I give feedback designed to help you improve as a writer I focus on honest and encouraging feedback I've worked in most genres, though main genres are Horror, Fantasy and Romance

I take another look at my Goodreads Want to Read shelf in an attempt to get that beast down to a more manageable level! If you want to see how I do, I'm tracking it via my That Dreaded TBR series, now on number 76! elleturpitt.com/2025/08/09/t...

For Let's Talk Bookish - a discussion about Reading Slumps vs Bookish Hangovers

Are you looking for an editor who actually reads your work and provides corrections and feedback, instead of running it through AI and calling it a day? If so...

Some American authors not understanding how post-cash most of Europe is always makes me smile. Forget which novel I read last year, but it had someone in London paying rent by cheque.

Are you looking for a freelance editor to help you get that manuscript into the best shape it can be? I've working in a variety of genres (probably most of them by this point!) but main genres are Fantasy, Horror and Romance #WritingCommunity #editing #BookEditor

Decided I'm going to watch as many English language (purely to narrow it down!) vampire films as I can, likely over what will be a long period of time, but I love vampires and I love seeing the ways they've changed etc. Biggest problem so far is how few early ones are easily available!

Going to be a little quieter on the blog for the next couple weeks for various reasons, but still got some posts going up! Starting with my Monday Moods, and this week I'm in the mood for something historical
