Since we don't have a fanfic section here, I'm providing a link to my vampire story "Tim Burton's Red Reign: Anno Dracula 1988-89." Thought it would make for an interesting Halloween treat. While inspired by Kim Newman's "Anno Dracula" series, you don't need to be familiar with it to follow the story. Enjoy!

At the polite request of Mr. Newman, the story has been removed.

It's October, time to pick up my copy of Dracula and read it--again.  I have done this every October since 1980.  I'm on my third copy of the book, and will soon have to buy a fourth.

Ok..so I am into the 4th book of Dean Koontz's Frankenstein series. I find myself reading a lot of his stuff, and then wondering why. Plots that could obviously be expanded on, characters that are under developed.......but hey, he got the rights to tell the Frankenstein story his way, so it must just be me.....

I've read and enjoyed all of Sara's V.I. Warshawski novels.  This isn't one of her best but was an okay read, if I didn't know the backgrounds of all the characters from her other novels, I would be somewhat lost.  Her books should be read in order.

Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus" has been in the public domain for over a hundred years. It's only the Jack Pierce make-up design and the particular adaptation in 1931's "Frankenstein" (and its sequels) that Universal owns. Part of the plot from the '31 film derives from a play by Peggy Webling (to which Universal purchased the film rights), which accounts for some of the deviation from the novel.

Got my copy today!

Fallen from grace and driven from the British Empire in previous instalments, Dracula seems long gone. A relic of the past. Yet, when vampire boy Johnny Alucard descends upon America, stalking the streets of New York and Hollywood, haunting the lives of the rich and famous, from Sid and Nancy to Andy Warhol, Orson Welles, and Francis Ford Coppola, sinking his fangs ever deeper into the zeitgeist of 1980s America, it seems the past might not be dead after all.

Still in the midst of reading this. With all the turmoil in my life right now, I don't get the chance to read much these days.

I always have a few going at the same time and read them by turns, depending on my mood.  Lately, enjoying these:

And dipping into these now and then...

And this was a quick read--of interest to Roald Dahl fans and WWII buffs as well!
