I read a lot of books not popular on Pagebound and I struggle with posting to forums when I know probably no one will see it, especially if it's even within a 100 meters radius of a spoiler. I wanted to ask how everyone deals with this. Or with bothering to write reviews when you know no one will read them. 🙏🏻 Feels like wasted effort to me.

Fellow boundlings, to mark the occasion I would like to ask you what's your favourite vampire book or character and why?

Here are the ones that came to my mind:

Book: Carmilla in Sheridan Le Fanu's Novella Carmilla; one of the most intriguing vampire characters who I would've loved to read the backstory of.

TV: Spike in Buffy the Vampire Slayer; his character arc was wild and disturbing at times, but I really appreciate how he grew as a character, and he was fun to watch too.

Movie: Dracula (Gary Oldman) in the 1992 movie Bram Stoker's Dracula; Oldman's portrayal of Dracula was brilliant, menacing, tragic and a bit whimsical.

"World Dracula Day is celebrated every year on May 26. The international holiday commemorates the publication date of Bram Stoker’s famous novel “Dracula,” published on May 26, 1897."

if my house had a thing in the basement that needed a yearly priest visit on rotation, trussssst I would living in that house no longer

Hello everybody! Are there any other vegan/vegetarian readers here? Have a nice day!

I wish the fairytales/ movies and life stories were discussed in a more linear way. If at least 1 of these were discussed in a linear it would provide some much needed structure to this book. I have heard about the girl with no hands over and over again, but other fairytales no where near as much.

This book really meanders around between different topics. I sometimes really enjoy stream of consciousness writing, but only if it's not so meandering and repetitive. I'm a bit disappointed, I was so excited for this book.
