THE DEEP DARK

by: Francis J. Burns

The deep dark had come, that time between two and four a.m., when most of the world can be found clutched in the bowels of sleep. A heavy mist slithered in from the sea. Saint Theresa of the Blessed Heart Hospital was hushed. Roan settled further into his chair as he read, fleeing from the creeping chill. Beside him, Selena rested. Her breathing was slow, even, comforting in its regularity. He glanced at her every so often when the clacking of shoes on tile stirred him from his book. In the cavernous silence, the pages whispered with each turning. The story, lifted from his favorite video game series, captivated him.

Vlad The Impaler An Introduction To Horror

When thinking about the most horrific names in human history, we can think of quite a few without effort. But one common denominator remains, Vlad the Impaler and here’s the introduction to horror.

The Heart of Horror

The origins of Vlad the Impaler are not known by everyone. Not many people wish to search for the darkest minds of human history. 

I am one of those ‘freaks’ who devour history from people who spread terror most uniquely and strategically, preferably centuries ago. And Vlad the Impaler, as an introduction to horror, is the right place to start.

Nosferatu - 1922

Nosferatu Redeems Dracula As A Vampire

In 1922, a new vampire face took over the silver screen despite Dracula’s heir denying its right to enter the lore. But, nothing could stop Count Orlok to become a face of horror.

Nosferatu As A Vampire

When F.W. Murnau presented the idea of the movie to Bram Stoker’s estate, they refused the right to the movie.

Based upon the famous Gothic novel named Dracula, even Stoker’s heir decided to take legal action following the release of the movie despite the refusal. In other words, Nosferatu redeems Dracula as a vampire.

Serial Murders

A serial killer is typically a person who murders three or more people, usually in service of abnormal psychological gratification, with the murders taking place over more than a month and including a significant period of time between them. — Wikipedia

The Brutal Fascination

There seems to be a fascination with serial killers. Even I am intrigued by them. So, what is it about them that piques people interest in them? Is it their crimes, the victims? The types of murders they committed.

The brutality of it all? For me, it’s trying to understand how another human being can be so devoid of emotions that they see other humans as prey. Chilling to think of, but to them, we are a means to their dark desires.

Sandman, A Horror Poem

The idea of someone throwing sand in my eyes to have one fall asleep is a creepy thought. Isn’t it?

Scary Granulated Stones

There are not many monsters that scares me, however, when it comes to the Sandman I feel quite disturbed.

He comes in your room at night, throws sand into your eyes and makes you believe it’s for good dreams and yet, I used to have night terrors.

To me, growing up, the Sandman was nothing more that a dreadful evil dust merchant.

The Odd Origin of Vampires In History

Vampires have been part of our folklore for hundreds of years. The belief in a being that subsists on blood has timelessly fascinated us. But where did vampires come from? Let’s explore the odd origins of vampires in history.

The First Origin Of The Bite

The odd origin of vampires in history—let’s dig in.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word vampyre, as we know it today, dates back to the eighteenth century. However, the name itself became part of the languages of France and Germany some time before its first appearance in English.

It is also interesting to note that the English language borrowed the term vampyre from France, and possibly from Serbia as well. Many countries across Western Europe had a term, a word, or at least a description that meant vampire.

Phantom of the Opera Review

I was young when I first read The Phantom of the Opera. I was attracted to it because of the theatrical essence of it and its Gothic origin.

The Original Summary

The story is known, the telling of the pages has been done and redone in many ways, and so now, I never thought I’d say this but here is The Phantom of the Opera book review.

First published in French as a serial in 1909, The Phantom of the Opera is a riveting story that revolves around the young, Swedish Christine Daaé. Her father, a famous musician, dies, and she is raised in the Paris Opera House with his dying promise of a protective angel of music to guide her.
