I’m both thrilled and honored to be one of Dacre Stoker and John Guarnieri’s invited Guest Authors attending the Netflix Watch Party June 5th, 8pm US eastern time zone.
We are going to be watching the 1st episode of the BBC Netflix adaptation of “Dracula.”
I have been asked to introduce myself and display a cover of one or more of my books about Dark Fiction, Horror, or Vampires.
I am an international bestselling and award-winning author of dark fantasy and paranormal romance, best known for the Tales of the Black Rose Guard series. I am also a PhD candidate at Queen’s University Belfast in Northern Ireland and wrote my MA thesis on Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles. I have traveled to Romania twice on trips which included visiting both Bran and Corvin Castle. I have also presented papers at conferences for the International Gothic Association (IGA), Gothic Association of New Zealand and Australia (GANZA), and San Diego Comic Con (SDCC).
My vampire fiction novels include:
Undying Embrace: A Dracula Novella
Forever Chosen (Vampire Brides)
Immortal Skye (Vampire Mates)
Wicked Desires (Cursed Coven)
Academic papers include:
“Location and the Vampire: The Impact of Fictional Stories upon Associated Locations,” in Dracula: An International Perspective;
“Tragic Monsters and Heroic Villains: Anne Rice’s Contribution to the Rise of the Heroic Vampire,” in Concerning Evil.
Leave the Lights On: Literary and Other Monsters – Editor
To attend the event:
You will need a Netflix account and can access it on your computer using Google Chrome, it is easy to register, and it is FREE.
We ask that you are considerate and respectful of others with your comments. I know there are folks who hate this version of Dracula, there are others, myself included, who enjoy and respect originality, and the many different adaptations of Bram’s timeless classic.
