In a series, one after another Ok, and the sentence: The traditionalist, OCD vampire who believed that vampires actually do have the crazy need to count everything around them, counted the scattered grains of rice seriatim. And that’s true…well, not the vampire: the fact that, in traditional myth, vampires [...]

I’ve been reading. The dictionary, that is. Along with Rare Words. Which has led me to a point in my life where words like “hedonistic” and “astute” which are the most interesting words one finds in most vampire novels, are no longer interesting. So let’s go “off book”. I’ll take a word I like, and [...]
