Hello, Good Fiends:
Just dropping an invitation to my House of Horror Oddities and Other Madness at Word Press—-our first blog post is published. If you’ve some time to kill, we invite you to come for a visit at our new location at WordPress.

Nothing will staunch the blood flow this week as there is more fangtastic fare to quench your insatiable thirst for all things vampire! Our next post will be published on Thursday. It’s going to be a far-out journey! Get ready for our first trip to Surreality to explore the case of the Highgate Vampire. This is not a work of fiction but a true 20th-century vampire hunt in London! You’ll barely have the ability to suspend disbelief with this story. Even if you’ve heard the tale, perhaps I’ve unearthed some things you didn’t know. You may also join me and Vivica for our first Sinemastalgia Saturday. We’ll head to the Hall of Fear for an overview and retrospective of 1922’s silent classic, Nosferatu, the first adaptation of Bram Stoker’s novel.
Of course, we’re still on for Freaky Fridays here at Substack with Horrorfic Highlights and Eccentrica. Hope you have a real scream this week, fiends!
