Being a Dracula aficionado, I only regret I haven't discovered DBS before. My favorite texts include the grim epistolary piece by @markoxbrow.bsky.social, the gothic story of regaining your true self by @llgarland.bsky.social, and the heart-rending masterwork set in contemporary LA by Amelia Mangan.

The contract is signed and returned, so now it can be told:

I sold Mina Harker story "Whoever Fights Monsters" (reprint) to Stoker Beyond Dracula @dbs-press.bsky.social

(If you've read my Miss Lucy Harker novels, yes, an adventure featuring Lucy's mom.)

I read so many Dracula stories that I sometimes forget what is canon and what isn’t. (Also what is published and what isn’t). But I just finished my first full reread in about 2 years in prep for an upcoming project and damn is that a good book.

Just returned home from Nosferatu, and it was everything I wanted it to be. It performs a magic trick of being simultaneously faithful to the original and somehow its own thing.

Absolutely love the character design for Orlok. Reminds me a bit of Alex McVey’s Dracula.

Can’t wait to see it again.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday.

Hope you all get a chance to see Nosferatu today.
