vampirical.

Vampires. Folklore, novellage, film, photography, art, a dash of pop culture, with an emphasis on bringing the fascinating and the obscure out into the light. (Er, carefully curtained, of course, to prevent the bursting into flame.)

Your host: Jo, folklore and ballad enthusiast, vampire conspiracy theorist, general snarker and lover of all things interesting. May or may not be writing things with vampires in.

Submissions accepted, with discretion. Unless they are Twilight.

Beyond lay a stone crypt, faintly lightened by a funerary lamp set in a niche in the wall, and close by the crypt, amid a pathetic jumble of bones and grave offerings, knelt his wife. When Abdul-Hassan saw what she was doing, his heart lurched.
