What to Read After Dracula

If you want to read more Stoker: Dracula’s Guest and Other Stories by Bram Stoker

If you want more foundational genre-defining gothics: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

If you want homoerotic vampirism that’s both intriguing and problematic: Carmilla by J. Sheridan le Fanu

If you want a gothic heroine fighting against the villain trying to possess her: A Long Fatal Love Chase by Louisa May Alcott

If you want a protagonist entering an extremely fucked up old money home and fighting for their freedom: Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno Garcia

If you want basically the same plot as Dracula but a lot more batshit and can put up with 1800s racism: The Beetle by Richard Marsh

If you want a modern take on Dracula that acknowledges the sexual assault subtext: The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix (note: this one is very hit or miss, people either love it or hate it)

If you want academics fighting ancient evil and an actual implied cameo by Dracula: The Case of Charles Dexter Ward by H.P. Lovecraft (my personal favorite Lovecraft!)

If you want morally ambiguous mad scientists: The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Other Stories by Robert Louis Stevenson (and read the rest of the stories in it while you’re at it!)

If you want rootin’ tootin’ Americans fighting gothic monsters: Pigeons from Hell by Robert E. Howard

If you want a gothic mystery with a spooky villain: The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle

If you want an implied polycule where a nerdy lady does all the real mystery solving: The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins

If you want the kind of vampire romance Dracula has become in pop culture: A Taste of Blood Wine by Freda Warrington

If you want something campier: Haunted Castles by Ray Russell

If you want something sexier: The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter

If you want something weirder: Blood 20 by Tanith Lee

If you want to read foreign bootleg Dracula: Powers of Darkness or Dracula in Istanbul, both creatively mistranslated from Bram Stoker

The literal love of my life

everyone cheered

"are you okay?" i can quote sao abridged from memory

I can't lie, I find it very odd that posts cautioning people against donating to individual* campaigns and promoting the idea of supporting mutual aid efforts and community kitchens in Gaza can rack up 10k+ notes--while a post promoting a community kitchen (that I can personally vouch for) struggles to get 1k notes, and has barely pulled in a couple hundred dollars over the past week.

I actively try to avoid using guilting tactics in fundraising, but this is weird to me. It's like people are using these posts as an excuse not to do things they already didn't want to do anyway, rather than actually taking their recommendations on board...

*In my experience, these campaigns often support large extended families + their neighbours

Mawasi Al-Qarara Mutual Aid Project

This campaign is a mutual aid initiative involving myself, my friends Mohammad Abu-Alwan and his two brothers in Palestine, and Shakhya Scri

MAQMAP is a community kitchen aiming to support families in the Mawasi Al-Qarara area.

Got broken up with and working with those feelings so here is an artist representation of those said feelings

I hope you find the pain interesting

iii. requests are open

requests for fics and instagram au's are perpetually open but i cannot guarantee that i will get around to every single one. while i wish to please and entertain as many people as possible, i write for free and for my own enjoyment. i have the right to decline a request.

reader is implied 18+ in all fics. i will not write underage, dub-con, non-con, or daddy kink. my comfortability with other kinks and tropes will also vary depending on the type of request.

kindness goes a long way in a request. simply saying “please” and/or “thank you” means a lot.

i write for free (no ko-fi or anything) so your reblogs and feedback are a great way to support me and all writers. while we appreciate likes, it doesn’t do anything to help our work get seen. please reblog content to support creators.

Hello my friend, 👋 👋

My name is Ahmed Jehad from Gaza, and I have a small child. Unfortunately, our house in Khan Yunis has been destroyed by the war, and we are currently experiencing difficult living conditions in a displacement tent in Deir al-Balah. We are in dire need of a safe and suitable shelter. If you want to help us, you can donate through the following fundraising campaign link: https://gofund.me/665fbb6c.

verified by bees and watermelon No.171.

Any donation, no matter how small, will have a huge impact on improving our situation. Thank you very much for your generosity and support.

DO NOT SCROLL!

share this post and help ahmad and his child survive the war by donating his gofundme if possible, if not. please share this and reblog.

the situation in palestine is no joke, the least you can do is this.

I just finished watching Triple Frontier and let me just say

WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF HURT NO COMFORT MOVIE DID I JUST WATCH LIKE WHY PLEASE WHO LET THEM HAVE NO LOVE IN THEIR LIVES

I I just wanted a nice movie to watch with a good heist type plot with pretty men that wasn’t the oceans series and all I got was crying about these men and wanting to see the other missions these guys did
