Weirdbook Vampire Proof Copy Received, Aimée and Les Filles Hopefully Soon to See Light

“Death and the Vampire” runs at about 1000 words and concerns a late night meeting on Rampart Street, in front of St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, between Aimée and a tall, gaunt gentleman claiming to be Death. But if, as the saying goes, Death cannot be delayed, the issue he’s to be a guest star in apparently can.

Thus I wrote when the contract was signed with WEIRDBOOK (see August 18 2019, et al.), for a story originally planned to be published in mid-2020. But then a special issue intervened, and then . . . well it has been a rough year. Plus that publication times in general, as one is often reminded, are rarely described as brisk. However WEIRDBOOK is a respected publication that’s been around for a long, long time, however infrequently it might seem on occasion, and Aimée and les filles, also known as the “Casket Girls” of New Orleanian vampiric fame, are proud to be included in this upcoming issue.

So, to cases, Thursday afternoon the proof arrived and, just before supper, I sent it back noting that it looked perfect! While as for the issue as a whole, as Editor Doug Draa tells us, I can promise that there is something for every-one in this issue with thrills and chills for all! Including, I might add, starting on page 160 “Death and the Vampire,” third from last in the fiction column of what seems to be a well-filled magazine.

More to appear here as it becomes known.
