The Vampyre by John Polidori

Do you know author Mary Elizabeth Braddon? For this week's Women in Horror Month, there are two FREE reads by Braddon, and audio versions of her short stories:

"Good Lady Ducayne," a story that has a scientific twist to the vampire theme. And, "At Chrighton Abbey." Think Downton Abbey with a ghost.

Stop by to experience a master author that too many of us have forgotten.

If you've never read anything by Alexei Tolstoy, then The "Family of the Vourdalak" will be an experience. This short story was published in 1884 and one of the early vampire stories of the time.

Stop by Tales of Terror Blog for a free read, audio, or watch the film with Boris Karloff.

If you’ve never read an annotated novel, that is a close and intimate read of Dracula, you’re missing out on a highly instructive look inside the mind of the writer. In this case, Bram Stoker.

Stop by my blog for a deep look into the flesh and bones of the writing of one of our most famous and enduring novels. And as a bonus, the Annotated Jane Eyre. An amazing read in how Charlotte Bronte wrote her famous Gothic masterpiece.

The Annotated Dracula by Bram Stoke, annotations by Mort Castle.
