Heed the warnings in the information section please. Some of these get outright DARK and I do not want to upset anyone if I can help it.

In a world where vampires were not only monsters and demons, but were also gods and goddesses of various myths from Greek to Norse. And in today’s society, vampires are revered as celebrities and politicians, gradually sinking their teeth into every aspect of human civilization. Damien must live in this reality as a single father with three children as he tries to make ends meet for his family. Then after a bounty hunt goes wrong, he must confront his demons, both figuratively and literally. Mostly in the form of a twenty-something-year-old man who is more than meets the eye.

When you think of Dracula, what other thoughts are present in your head? Forget blood and horror; how about maths, Kate Bush lyrics, or Chelsea FC supporters. No? Well, this is the story that includes them all and then some.

Writing a Dracula mash-up is not the most sensible thing to do perhaps. Especially when one of the principal characters takes exception to the tale.

A response to one of Cia's writing games.

These are a collection of short stories or scenes written with a special occasion theme, e.g. Christmas, Easter, Birthday's, April Fools, etc.

Things that go bump in the night, voices that scream in the dark, sounds when no one is there or the silent figure when there should be no one there.

Horror and ghost stories have always held a fascination for the LGBT reader, just look at the popularity of American Horror Story and the writing of Clive Barker and Anne Rice. In horror/ghost stories so many LGBT themes can be explored, they are far more than screaming women and camp villains, well the good ones are.

This collection will feature some of my LGBT horror and ghost stories. So, sit back and make sure all the lights are still on…

When young vampire, Julian, is forced to deal with a hazardous mishap in his previous habitat, he has to run out to seek shelter elsewhere, taking his new boyfriend, Glenn, with him. However, Glenn hasn't quite finished the delicate process of crossing over into darkness just yet. Getting him to a safe and secure location is a major priority now. But...not all crossovers go to plan the way a vampire might think it should. And not all seeds bring beautiful blossoms to the surface.

Sometimes...there's something much darker lurking beneath the surface...

Simon has been beaten down all his life. Finally he has had enough. Determined to take his life, he tries to drown himself. When he is saved by a young man, he begins to learn his life might have a happy ending after all. But no one ever promised life would be easy even with help.

This started as a story for the Grid Game and has gotten bigger.

Simon is a newly turned vampire, he's made his home in a lovely cave on a mountain.

Unfortunately, someone else has decided they like the cave too.

My prompt was - A newly-made vampire (verb) deep forest on a mountain no one dares enter (conjunction/pairing word) the cat won't move.
