Welcome

“Listen to them, the children of the night. What music they make!” 
― Bram Stoker


Welcome to my blog entirely dedicated to Vampires. I have and always will be a big vampire fan, since I was little, vampires and other supernatural creatures have always fascinated me. I am a believer in the afterlife and the supernatural. I am not a goth but I have a deep appreciation and respect for the genre, style and lifestyle. My main interests are Gothic literature and films. I have a degree in Literature from England where I read and studied many great works of Gothic literature such as:

. Bram Stoker's Dracula
. Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu
. Lost Souls and other works by Poppy Z Brite
. Interview with the vampire by Anne Rice

After my studies I continued to read and dive deeper into Vampire novels, films and TV shows. I am always looking for novels, comic books, films that are related to vampires and other Gothic creatures.
