Thursday is the Autumn Equinox. To mark it, some friends & I are visiting the grave of Mercy Lena Brown in Exeter, RI. Known as “America‘s First Vampire,” Mercy was a 19-year-old woman who died of consumption in 1892, was thought to “rise again”, & likely inspired Bram Stoker‘s Lucy (a portmanteau of Mercy Lena). Later, we‘ll be watching a vampire flick. These are films we won‘t be viewing that are on my To Watch list for October! #Scarathlon2022
