Comic book ad for the Sega CD version of the Bram Stoker’s Dracula video game. I love the standard version on the SNES/Genesis, but I’ve never played this version.

Once again I have to appreciate that on Tumblr the most anticipated event of the year is a 6-month-long book club and/or listening party of the novel Dracula. Just regular old Dracula the actual novel not a retelling or a TV series just the unabridged novel itself

I think this is the year I actually write my sci fi adaptation of Dracula that I’ve been pondering since the first Dracula daily season

my toxic trait is when i encounter someone talking about vampire media as a genre in some intellectual way and they don’t mention/haven’t read Anne rices vampire chronicles I get a bit angry then immediately disregard everything they have to say. Yes I am petty and autistic but also she reinvented the vampire genre, is single handedly responsible for changing the popular perception of vampires from Dracula to soppy tragic romantics, and created 99% of the tropes twilight is given credit for (that Stephanie myer ripped from her). also she put queer vampires in popular culture and was a huge deal in the 80s-90 queer community. Like if ur trying to talk about vampires LET ALONE gay vampires and u don’t know Anne Rice beyond the movie or the show then I’m not listening 💔💔💔 genuinely sorry I’m a bitch lmao

“Stop thinking so much about vampires.” No. You start thinking about vampires MORE.

I wrote a book!

The Vampyres is the happy horrifying accident born of feverish scribbling in the wake of Dracula season* (*inhaling Dracula Daily and Re: Dracula at the same time May thru November). It features a number of familiar villainous faces from classic supernatural lit, though not everyone is wearing their original name anymore. The story takes place in the 21st century and you can only hold onto those sentimental titles so long in the mayfly mortal world before you start drawing attention.

Not that swapping out pseudonyms has done anything to thwart the new shadow looming over the revenant community…

Description

Something is culling the undead.

Whether they imbibe blood, leech life, or traded mortality away to their devil of choice, the revenants of the world are disappearing. The Vampyre, a possessor of many names and collector of many lives, has been fretting over the phenomenon for some time.

A laughable fear, for he is one of those canny cadaverous few who made a deal for perpetual resurrection. The bitten may crumble, but the bargainer can rise from death after death. So he reminds himself. So he worries is no longer the case.

Not when the boyar in the Carpathians was one of the first to vanish. Still, the monster from the mountains may simply be in hiding, just as the rest of the bargainers must be. The Vampyre convinces himself of this for a single night……before the monster called Quinn Morse makes itself known.

when internet people are like “i love gothic literature but i hate anything that discusses incest, sexual violence, oppression, misogyny, abuse, torture, gore, murder, or death”

[agroveinthesavagegarden]

People who don’t straight up read the sourcebooks are missing out on some banger lines. “A goddammit of Tremere” is fucking hilarious

vampirism.

“vampirism is too romanticized these days” damn that’s crazy. I’m romanticizing it even more now though because you’re whining like this
