"Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires.
What explains our enduring fascination with vampires? Is it the overtones of sexual lust, power, control? Or is it a fascination with the immortality of the undead?"

Feel free to post any vampire-related content here. I'll be posting various vampire media I enjoy just as a way of kickstarting this community but don't let that stop you from posting something else. I just wanted a place to discuss vampire movies, books, games, etc.

CHAPTER VII

LOG OF THE “DEMETER.”

28 July.—Four days in hell, knocking about in a sort of maelstrom, and the wind a tempest. No sleep for any one. Men all worn out. Hardly know how to set a watch, since no one fit to go on. Second mate volunteered to steer and watch, and let men snatch a few hours’ sleep. Wind abating; seas still terrific, but feel them less, as ship is steadier.

Honestly if it weren't for you and others sharing them, I wouldn't have known that it was a whole phenomenon, either. I knew about the OG Dracula Daily email list, but I didn't realise how many different people were doing public commentaries on it.

Interesting that this particular person seems to have arrived at a date on their own, based on phases of the moon. Completely independent of most of the analysis out there that puts it just 1 year later than where they put it.
