I said this in the last newsletter but I haven’t mentioned it on here yet so consider this the world’s softest and most whispery announcement that I’m hoping to run What Manner of Man for a second time starting next month (like Dracula Daily), plus serialize the re-edited draft for Patrons.

"It is fitting — you would make a beautiful vessel, a fitting servant to any god.”

Horniest line of the book so far, breathtakingly lustful

Tumblr Book Clubs I am Currently Following, in order of how hard I think they would be to catch up on if you wanted to join the fun:

Around the World Hourly (Around the World in Eighty Days with entries sent according to the in-story hour of events, started Oct 2)

The Public Domain Book Club (started Frankenstein for the month of October on Oct 1)

Lord of the Rings Newsletter (started late September with some very long posts, but will be variable length as they follow the dates of events in the story)

Dracula Daily via Re:Dracula (chronological Dracula by Bram Stoker - OK, you've missed most of this one, but the audio format is very engaging - you could still catch up for the exciting conclusion!)

My Dear Wormwood (The Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis - 22 short letters so far, posted on a weekly basis)

What Manner of Man (original vampire romance by St John Starling - 24 shortish and very fun chapters so far, posted on a weekly basis)

Whale Weekly (Moby Dick by Herman Melville with roughly chronological timescale - we're 70-some chapters in but there are often long breaks between them so you could probably catch up)

Les Mis Letters (a chapter of Les Miserables by Victor Hugo every day for a year - catch-up difficulty level: impossible)

Please add your own!

I don't actually know how to make these text post memes it turns out.

#What Manner of Man #Lord Vane wouldn't normally but if he would write priest kink novels he would also make them have correct details #I just needed to make the obvious joke now that we have some art of Victor to work with

alistair, ready for death and hoping his favorite little priest will come to give him his last rites so he can gaze upon him once more, not even dreaming about being near him much less touching him:father-

Victor, newly minted slut and fresh out the Iron Maiden he called a closet, ready to get fucked by the devil or die trying on the dusty ass floor:

#what manner of man #st john if you see this thanks for the chapter!#father ardelian #the homo energy will cleanse the devil #or maybe not #anyway Vic is about to get pagan pounded #and alistair will get his soul (whatever is left) sucked out his-*CAR CRASH NOISES*

the fact that father ardelian is doing multiple paragraphs about how GODDAMN HORNY whipping himself is making him feel and still doesnt realize hes using catholicism as a cover for his masochism is taking me OUT

What’s the opposite of gay/lesbian solidarity? That’s what Danny and Lord Vane have going on.

Father Ardelian for the nth week in a row: the gay thots surely will not catch me this time for i will simply dodge them with expert speed and agility by Not Letting Myself Feel Anything. hasn't worked the last 10 times ive tried it but surely this time will be the one. oh gee golly fuck i am Feeling Things Again. ah well back to the drawing board

#what manner of man #wmom #i love him so much baby this has never worked for u. king have u tried instead perhaps having gay sex

The last few chapters of What Manner of Man have had so much lore, so many complicated emotions - but I still can’t help thinking that this could all be resolved if they just had some gay sex about it

#truly can’t wait to see where it’s going #but like… it probably wouldn’t hurt #is all I’m saying #what manner of man

How I read Victor and Alistair's relationship from the failed exorcism to last week.

How I read Victor and Alistair's relationship this week and going forward.

#what manner of man #Look Alistair has been insistent on submitting to Victor's exorcism and judgement since the incident #Which suddenly makes sense when it turns out he's a priest in a priest kink novel #They are an ex priest for ex priest couple EP for EP if you will
