Dialogue transcripts:
Panel 1
Godfrey: And do not tell Irene, but I am certainly going to commission you for a portrait of her.
Basil: Iād be glad to! As soon as I have completed Sir Murgatroydās, I am at your service.
Panel 2
Godfrey: Please, take your time. No matter when, it is a thrill to show your gift to the one you love!
Basil: Indeed, it isā¦
Panel 3
Irene: ā¦Well, Mr. Gray, we shall keep that in mind. We do owe Mr. Hallward, as well as yourself, credit for giving us the first clue. Above all, we trust Lord Godalming having referred you.
Panel 4
Dorian: Ah, indeed, good old Basilā¦Anyway. I am glad Lord Godalming has put my little joke behind him. Heās a bit of a humorless sort, sometimes.
Panel 5
Mina: Oh, rest assured, Arthur is quite mirthful.
Panel 6
Mina: He does, however, have his limits when it comes to love.
Mina (white text): We, however, shall suffer no mockery of Love.
Panel 7
Background text (left side): āHow long will you like me? Till I have my first wrinkle, I suppose.ā āI love her, and I must make her love me.ā āI have had the arms of Rosalind around me, and kissed Juliet on the mouth.ā
Background text (right side): āI would give my soul for that!ā āTo-night she is Imogen, and to-morrow night she will be Juliet.ā āWhen is she Sibyl Vane?ā āNever.ā āYou have spoiled the romance of my life. How little you can know of love, if you say it mars your art! Without your art, you are nothing.ā
Background text (white): Mockery of Love (x3)
Panel 8
Mina: ā¦Is everything quite alright, Mr. Gray?
Panel 9
Dorian: Oh! YesāI was just sayingāWe would be delighted to keep in touch with suchā¦ahemā¦intriguing company. But for now I am afraid we must bid you adieu, erm, if youāll excuse meā¦
Panel 10
Basil: Dorian! Are we leaving already?

Just had a thought. How much would you bet that after the whole Dracula deal is said and done, Johnathan and Mina make a series of code phrases. Nothing noteworthy. "It has been a fine day" maybe. "It reminds me of traveling the country". Things like that.
Someone could catch a letter in shorthand, after all, even if they can't read it. Much harder to find fault with some meaningless pleasantries to a beloved spouse.

Jonathan: Mr. Griffin, if you choose to leave rather than to rely on strangers, I will help you with your journey. But if you choose to stay, there is a place for you here.
Panel 2
Jonathan: Besides, home cooked food is tastier than cans of peaches.
Panel 3
Griffin: ā¦You know, I thought you were an albino too, but it turns out youāre just weird. Your wife is an odd one too, for that matter.
Panel 4
Griffin: Didnāt mean to go all irrational with the āare you even humanā stuff, by the way. Iām a scientist. I was just sick.
Panel 5
Jonathan: ā¦We both may not be who we once were anymore.

Jonathan: I come here when the weather is nice to smoke. Mind joining me?

Panel 6
Griffin: Gotta prepare for when youāre done with meāfor the worst. It always gets worse, and I will not starve again.

Griffin: You? Prisoner?!
Jonathan: I escaped on my execution day, once I was no longer of use to my captor.

Jonathan (voiceover): I ran for days. I wasā¦ severely ill. A bleeding, penniless, starving madman in a strange land. Yetā¦
Panel 9
Jonathan (voiceover): I was given a second chance because many strangers helped me. I could offer them no service, but they cared for me until I was well again.

The thing about Mina asking to become a vampire for her love for Dracula holds no actual emotional weight because there is no tragedy to it. What we see is that 1. itās a neat immortality perk 2. she hates her married life anyways, so all that matters is her Destined Lover 3. she isnāt scared of becoming it
Jonathan meanwhile secretly, in his own heart, choosing vampirism for Mina hits like a ton of bricks, exactly because we know what he went through in the vampiresā lair and how horrifying it was and how he had chosen to risk death over living that nightmare for eternity.Ā
What Mina in adaptations is saying isĀ āI will become immortal and bind my soul to my fated man because I hate my normal life and I can be happy with him forever.ā
What Jonathan is saying isĀ āI will become what had brought me to ruin, I will become the very thing I hate and fear. Just that so sheāll never feel alone in the dark.ā

A message to all the assorted unscrupulous undead: Beware the Ides of March.
To everyone else: Grab your kukri blades, your bowie knives, your stakes, your bone saws, and whatever else you have on hand to appropriately accessorize with your new copy of The Vampyres.
The book is out! Loose! Running rampant and bloodstained through the terrains of eBook and paperback alike!
My beautiful little baby, toddling into the literary world to deliver havoc unto the dastardly bastards of the revenant realm. Iām so proud. (And so happy to feel the stress headache finally start to crack.)
Now that The Vampyres is out in the open, a brief FAQ under the cut:
Where can I get the eBook?
Check out the Universal Book Link (UBL) here:
Itāll show you all the places you can grab a virtual vampyre by the throat.
Where can I get the paperback?
For folks in āmurrica, Iād say hit up Bookshop.org to go and grab it from your physical store of choice:
You can also just search The Vampyres C.R. Kane and see the waterfall of options. Not sure of the exact timeline, but it should be more widely available in the coming weeks. At least hereabouts:
Pictured: Places to potentially purchase a paperback.
HOWEVER.
A Quick Caveat:
Because Murphyās Law is the only one I follow, thereās been a bit of a hiccup. Since I went and did some last-minute tweaks of the interior and cover for legibility reasons, Amazon and Barnes and Nobleāthe Big Boy booksellersāare currently marking it as āTemporarily Out of Stockā and not even letting you click on it until the print-on-demand tweaks are up to date. Augh.
But! ThriftBooks and IndieBound still show that you can Backorder. Hereās to the little bookshops. <3
Iāll keep you updated on the general availability status as things tick along.
Can I get it at my library?
If you ask for it, yes! Youāll need the ISBNs when filling out your libraryās request form, so:
eBook ISBN: 9798218374594
Paperback ISBN: 9798218374587
Whatās the status on that paperback cover business?
Current status is still ???
At least in the sense that Iām not sure what version of the book cover you might get at the moment. Original matte? Temporary glossy? Updated matte thatās here to stay? No idea at the moment. My self-publishing page shows the updateās confirmed, but the online stores are still using the first version as the preview image and Iām not sure when that gets swapped out. At least the books are all print-on-demand, so whatever you order, just know itās not coming from some thrown-away backup heap. Itās fresh from the book oven press.
Anything else I need to know?
First, reviews are extremely welcome! I am running on negative budget when it comes to waving my little flag to announce that I Made a Scary Vampire Book, so Iām really relying on word-of-mouth if I want it to actually get its head above water. Leaving stars and comments wherever you can, be it in the online stores, the Goodreadses or Smashwordses or whatever else, would be a big help.
(Really though, I can and will dissolve into a puddle of relieved ego if I see so much as one (1) Nice Comment on Tumblr, my cesspool of choice.*)
*This is not hyperbole. I can count on one hand how many PROMOTION Ā© ā¢ posts Iāve made on Twitter and have fingers left over. This novella is tailored to my fellow fiendish bookworms on here.
Second, to those coming by this stuff for the first time and donāt know what all this hoopla is about, a preview of my novella, The Vampyres, is available on my website. Give it a gander if you want to see under-appreciated classic supernatural bogeymen dropped into their own horror story.
Thirdly, lastly, vitally: thank you.
The Vampyres is a beautiful accident that came together out of an itch to rattle something out just for myself; a break from a bloated piece that had turned into a chore which burned me out and threw away the fun of scribbling. A lightweight read that saved me from being crushed by a cinderblock.
By the same token, the people on here have shouldered me up and out of the creative pit of thinking āThis is all for nothing.ā For all that I talk of how much Iām powered by spite and the desire to Read a Specific Thing only to realize I Have to Write That Thing First, Iād be a liar if I said the kindness and excitement of the folks whoāve been reading my nonsense for (holy hell) TWO YEARS in the wake of the first big Dracula Daily surge didnāt have a major role in getting this thing done.
I did make The Vampyres for me. But itās for you guys too. For everyone who saw one of my rambles or little fictions and spoke up to say, I love this! I was thinking this! I wanted this! Finally, finally!
When you crack open the cover for the first time, on a screen or in your hands, I want you to know Iām thinking Thank You at you. I hope you enjoy all the horrors inside.
