So... have you checked out Dacre Stoker's... questionable continuations of Dracula? I read Dracula: The Un-dead out of morbid curiosity and I found it to be a good mix of incredibly frustrating and laughably bad. Haven't read Dracul, or anything else from him yet. Curious to know if you've dove into that rabbit hole and what your thoughts on it are?
[Spoilers: Name drop of a significant late novel character]
I've started both novels but haven't gotten very far in them, and I understand the ample and obvious reasons why they are not to many fans' tastes. One thing I do find endearing about Dracula: The UnDead though is, after seeing the ways that other authors of professional Dracula fanfiction seem to align themselves with specific characters (ex: Saberhagen with the Count and Newman with Seward), it is very cute to see Dacre aligning himself with Quincey Harker.

#kimickaphotoaday October Day 12: Vampire(s) 🧛🏻🧛🏻‍♀️🧛🏻‍♂️ Et voila. The other side of the Halloween sign, the side I display most often. Vampires. I have always loved vampires. Always. Vampires and witches have been my thing for as long as I can remember. From Buffy to Twilight to artwork to music to writing my own vampire fiction to everything in between. A few years ago I picked up this book about the modern vampire. It’s mostly about all the various vampire media that had been published or released at the time of publishing (books, movies, music, artwork, fashion, lifestyle, even real life places, etc.) And it’s full of vampire artwork and quotes. It’s got everything from Buffy to Twilight to The Vampire Diaries to True Blood to Vampire Academy to Lost Boys to Dracula. It is missing the Underworld series (though there is a quote) and Carmilla (the og book, I think this book was published before the web series) lol. But it’s fun. So I’ve shared here 7 (b/c Instagram limits) pictures & quotes. Lol. 🧛🏻‍♀️🧛🏻🧛🏻‍♂️ #vampire #vampires #watchforvampires #halloween #theundead #ninadobrev #angelinajolie #dracula #love #target #photo #photoaday #photoadaychallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/CGREVHBnrF1/?igshid=xof9ywrzapx1

The Hunger Within by Lily Luchesi Release Blitz
Vampirism isn't all sex, blood, and handcuffs. * She's not all whips and orgasms.
What inspired me to write The Hunger Within
The Hunger Within really started with A Bloody Legacy, the 15k word novelette I released this past April with Hot Ink Press.
BDSM has always been interesting to me, not just because of the sexual aspect but the psychological one as well. It takes two entirely different types of people to be doms/dommes and subs, and different reasons for why each role appeals to them. However, I never thought about writing it at all, though I had penned some erotica short stories for anthologies.
My publisher said femdomme was becoming a trend in books and that there was a lack of it. Somehow, that night, the idea for A Bloody Legacy came to mind.
I am a vampire nerd. Ask anybody. Vampires dominate (pun intended) my work, and I was always intrigued by Dracula and Stoker’s portrayal that he basically had a small harem with his three brides, plus wanting Lucy and then Mina.
Right away my mind went not to Dracula himself, but to a daughter, the next in line to take over the House of Dracul. From there, I thought about Renfield, and how Dracula wasted an opportunity in killing him when he was such a faithful servant (and really was submissive when you read between the lines). So right away, a female Renfield popped into my head with all of the submissive nature but none of the mental illness.
I hadn’t planned on writing a full length novel for the two women, Victoria and Bec, but right away my readers came to me and said, “We need more!” Not want, but need. I am not a plotter, ideas have to come naturally to me.
It took maybe a week before the idea came, and I still have no freakin’ clue how it happened. But I’m glad it did.
As I wrote, I knew I wanted to delve deeper into the psychology of a new sub in a relationship with an experienced domme. We dommes can be cold and calculating due to our positions, often hiding our softer emotions to play our roles. I wanted to explore that line of thinking and how it can confuse a sub, especially a new one.
I also wanted to add in more action, because I grew up with violent vamps, not sexy ones. But to me, violence and power can be very sexy indeed, and that was another thing I made sure to point out in the narrative. To tell the truth, this was also an excuse to write about bloodplay in a very natural setting.
My mind is a melting pot, and everything just stirred together like a big stew and turned into The Hunger Within. Sex, blood, and handcuffs. Love, mystery, and mind games. I hope readers enjoy the book half as much as I enjoyed writing it. Vampires wielding whips and chains as well as fangs? Yes please...

    http://smarturl.it/TheHungerWithin
    The body of my best friend for the past twelve years was lying on the entryway floor, nearly bloodless. Her glassy eyes stared at the ceiling in disbelief and eternal fear. I hoped that the undertaker fixed that, or else she’d give the visitors at her funeral quite a shock. Not that the dual vampire bites and broken neck wouldn’t be startling enough.
What was I doing as my friend’s body lay cooling? I was pushed up against the wall in the very same hallway, tasting her blood on my lips and having my clothes torn off of me by my impatient and unbearably sexy Sire and Mistress, Victoria Draconis.
Her now blood-warmed hands tugged down my tank top and tore off my bra in a bloodlust filled haze, leaving bloody handprints on my pale flesh. The eyes that were usually black were now burning with Hellfire, and I am sure mine were as well. She leaned in and licked the blood from the side of my face, her body holding me flush against the wall.
The feelings inside of me were heady and intoxicating, a dark mix of lust, satisfaction, anticipation, and warmth I had never known before. Victoria had told me that there was no better sex than that which took place right after a first feeding, and she seemed to be correct. She hadn’t even touched more than a breast on me and already I was more turned on than I had ever been.
I wanted to make the job go quicker and help remove the rest of my clothing, but I refrained. Victoria hadn't told me that I could and I didn’t want to risk angering her. And no way in Hell would I touch hers without express permission.
“So pliant,” she said, her deep, accented voice giving me chills. “You are a fast learner, my pet.” Her lips captured mine again as she slid my leggings and panties down. I stepped out of them and my sneakers in two quick movements.
Victoria’s hands went to the back of her corset and began to unlace it. Despite it being the twenty-first century, she dressed like a Victorian lady....if ladies of bygone days wore four-inch black leather heels and liked to whip other women for fun, that is. The garment fell away from her body, exposing her large, soft breasts as she then stepped out of her skirt, leaving her heels and sheer red panties on.
Fingers tugged at my nipples, hard, but I was now used to worse.
“As I said, I knew I’d increase your pain threshold,” she said, a smug smile on her face. One hand slithered from my breast up my chest and neck, pressing ever so slightly on my throat now. “On the ground, on your hands and knees. Now.”
I obeyed, too full of arousal to care that I was about to kneel in freshly spilled blood. There was a rustling from behind me and then there was a sharp pain on my arse. She’d removed the belt from my jeans and had proceeded to use it as a whip, something she had done once before when the proper tools weren’t in easy reach.
Victoria loved giving pain, just as much as I loved taking it as I arched my back to meet her next stroke. I hadn't been her sub for very long. In fact, I had just discovered the lifestyle when we met a month ago, but I was so glad that I’d found her...found this.
The next slap of the belt was right between my legs and I let out a cry, somewhere between pain and arousal as the leather connected with my now throbbing clit. I slid forward in the slippery blood, just a bit, and heard my Mistress’ dark laughter behind me.
A few more strokes with the belt adorned my arse, back, and between my shoulder blades, sending me forward even more. The friction--or lack thereof--on the floor had me sprawling, my body now covered in blood as I fought for purchase.
Victoria laid off with the belt, and I felt her sharp heel digging into my back, pressing me downwards despite my effort to remain on all fours.
“Be a good pet and lick it up,” she commanded. “Not all of it, just what’s in front of you.”
The fuck? This was new, at least to me.
I yelped as a fresh wave of pain hit me: Victoria had noticed my hesitation and whipped me straight down my spine.
“Did I stutter, slut?”
