1 hour #CYOReadathon stacked with #October8in2 1/8 🦇 This is a reread of the Sherlock Holmes short story, 'The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire'. -- Finding myself interested again in this Vampires history book, brings up a lot more I missed about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's supernatural interests 👻🔍 uncommon mystery tales I'm eager to seek out now! (Extras add to my 1st hour)
pickA fun, educational time. Some stories are obviously better than others but only a couple real stinkers. I absolutely love The Family of the Vourdalak and have no idea why it hasn't been optioned for a movie. That said, this book took me like 3 months to read for some reason, and I'm ECSTATIC to be done and move onto something non-vampire.
Library sale find.
Do I normally go for vampire books? No.
Am I going to pass up this giant book in great condition that actually looks interesting and is only $1? Nope.
As a vampire classics fan, I've really only read one, as the first The Vampire Chronicles novel. 🙀 Also as I'm aware of 'Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis' now making the 12th. I'll sure get scheduled on the series again! - A Game of Thrones is my winter devotion. I should really make The Vampire Chronicles a summer goal for each year.
Gosh 😸 this was 10 years ago when I started check marking the book, and I'll resume back to it. Now I'll have to find where I packed my Vampire Hunter D books. I bought the first 6 at the time. The stories and illustrations are awesomely cool! 🦇🗡
Only a #slowread as a long catalogued read, reminding me to get back to Anne Rice. My new copy at the time was stubbornly aged, used as a mouse pad with an unfortunate desk set-up. 😂 Not terrible, for the withered spidery look. This was the early 2000s, before the Twilight books make a new take on vampire evolution. Although I've yet to read 'The Hunger', David Bowie in that film led me to the music of Bauhaus. 🦇
