What a great review! goodreads.com/review/show/7362

www.goodreads.comSarah Suss's review of Immortal Gifts5/5: I love vampire books (as seen by past reviews), and this one had its own spin on the trop, but instead of turning me away, I LOVED IT!! The whole concept is a Jewish man who is a vampire and trying to hide that from the rest of the world. He's also a superbly talented violinist, but he hasn't been able to play for fear of other vampires taking notice of him (specifically one) and hunting him down. I loved the way the story weaved Jewish culture into his vampirishness. There was so much information, but it was placed right where my interest would be piqued, and just enough was left out tha...

I've finished: Carmila by J. Sheridan Le Fanu

I listened to the Audible dramatization, featuring some impressive actors.

Carmila was surprisingly sexy-lesbian for a late 19th century work.

It was interesting to read a pre-Dracula vampire story. The christian elements are more muted and the victim isn't tainted by sin.

PS.
I was introduced to Carmila by the Wizards vx. Lesbians podcast. Though They discussed a different edition.

Meet Amir, Amir is a vampire, he's very old, roughly 500 years, he can't remember exactly when he was born. He takes special herbal teas so he can be out in the daylight. His favourite colour is purple and he has his own style, he doesn't care that people find him odd or excentric.
He's handsewn from thrifted materials and old clothes.

In order to welcome @Photosaurus on Mastodon, I'm sharing our last collab last November with this pic I love so much ! Also 2 detail shots of the leather belt accessories (details in ALT description). The goal was to represent what could be a vampire crossing the ages and slowly adapting her wardrobe (we also did a victorian and modern era version but I prefer the medieval one^^). #fantasy #photomonday #vampire #portrait #leathercraft #costumedesign

Photo of what could be a medieval vampire with a red and green dress, red hood and embossed vegtan leather belt and belt accessories. Has some scars but looks quite nice for a young undead creature ! ^^
Detail shot of belt accessories: horn stand, viking purse (based on a Hedeby finding), medieval-inspired purse. All in vegtan leather.

In Orthodox parts of south-eastern Europe, the best day to go vampire hunting was Saturday. This was because the day following the crucifixion was sacred to the Virgin Mary, who had clung to her faith in those dark hours. Vampires, therefore, were confined to their graves during this day and so could not escape if discovered. Those born on a Saturday were able to detect ghosts and ghouls and were immune to the malevolent influence of vampires. #folklore #vampire #vampires #gothic #paranormal #weird #mythology #history #ghosts
