Modern vampire lore will tell you that you should use a stake to dispatch of a vampire.

But German folklore tells us that a peat spade will do in a pinch.

I’ve finished via Duncan by DB Reynolds ( 5/Vampires In America). This is one of my favorite ever & a multiple repeat read/listen. Duncan has to find out what happened to the FMC’s best friend, and then they seek revenge. @romancebooks

? I’ve just finished via Sophia by DB Reynolds ( 3/Vampires in America). This series entry is where I start to love these . Sophia is searching for her missing sire, but finds Colin instead. Cyn & Raphael are searching for a group of vampire killers. It’s a , so yes, TW for violence. @romancebooks

I’ve finished listening to the Rajmund by DB Reynolds ( 3/Vampires in America). It’s my least favorite book in my most favorite series. The series is why I fic. Not sure why I’m not all that fond of Sarah & Raj, but I think it’s all the thoughtless things that come from both their mouths (same as mere humans do so often). @romancebooks

Finished via Jabril by DB Reynolds ( 2/Vampires in America). Said last week but this is my favorite series. Cyn & Raphael finally get a HFN ending. This one is better if you’ve already Raphael. Plot is a rescue of two young girls from Lord Jabril. @romancebooks

In Italy, those who are born with a caul become "Benandanti" or "Good Walkers", and get to fight evil sorcerers in their dreams.

However, their counterparts in northeastern Germany have a far less happy fate.

Sesame Street's Count has precedent in folklore. In various parts of Eastern Europe, vampires are compulsive counters. They're especially drawn to mustard seeds, so if you scatter the seeds while being chased, you can escape while the vampire counts them all.

Leaving the dog behind in the room with the murderous corpse was cowardly, though perhaps understandable under these circumstances.

Frozen in place.

Dripping tears for centuries.

Memories of a lifetime.

Praying for salvation.

A frown for eternity.

Will her tears sprout

a garden for The Dead?

Tourists do not come near.

What will our small town become
