Updated former book Fears with five new stories and new title. Support an indie author. Shoring helps. Great movie rights, too.

For all you fans of 19th century pennydreadfuls about vampires, I know that's a huge demographic. The Illustrated Varney The Vampire releases are perfect.

Premium hardcover, nothing abridged, pictures included and as many words as possible squeezed onto the pages without ruining legibility.

Digital portrait of a very thin man in a blue-green suit with a 1960s cut, with a sword-cane, and a fur coat draped over one shoulder. The man has a white, freakishly elongated face with pink discolouration around his eyes. He has doglike fangs, cloudy grey-blue eyes, and long black hair. He's smiling at the viewer.

Have you ever looked at the length of the Three Musketeer novels? Dumas was paid to fill a quarter page of newspaper three times a week. He wasn't alone. Paul Feval and Eugene Sue were churning out stories of similar length on the regular. And across the Channel you had the Pennydreadfuls.

Now on Youtube, part 2 of Varney the #Vampire : youtu.be/6hZGeAuL4m4

Henry sprung to his feet. His whole frame quivered with emotion; the drops of perspiration stood upon his brow, as, in a strange, hoarse voice, he repeated the words,—

“A vampyre!”
