It was a year ago when they first set out, five vampire poems off into the world, brave and hopeful, and today they finally returned to my mailbox, resplendent in their new home. Or, more to
the point, the November issue of BLOODBOND arrived from Alban Lake Publishing (cf. September 3, June 25), with all five poems in it. The poems themselves are offered in two groups: “Section I” presenting ”Entertain the Concept, or, A Vampire’s Dilemma,” “The Vampire’s Suggestion (Don’t Forget Breath Mints),” and “The Vampire Muses,” and “Section II” with “Valentine Vamp (‘And So to Bed’)” and “Sinister,” the first three addressed to the vamp herself offering philosophy and advice, and the latter two more objective in describing her methodology and practice. More information, including a listing of other stories and poems in the issue, can be found here.
