Haunted Bookshelf 2019.

Leaning towards the Vampiric for this years choice of titles. Theres a pulpy quality to the choices with deep red threads of continuity running through them. Bram stoker set in place certain tropes which have trickled down through the ages. Stoker was working as a theatre director during the Whitechapel murders era and all the mores of his time were bound up in the text. It is not even surprising how little has changed today...
