I can't help but see parallels between this voyage and the voyage to England of Count Dracula in Bram Stoker's novel, on a ship containing boxes of earth from his home country, and its dramatic arrival in Whitby. Could Bram Stoker have heard this fishy story and been inspired to create a similar scene in his book? The part that gets me is the name on the box - "Dr. Ackland" - could this name have inspired the name of the world's most famous vampire?

Did a fish inspire one of the most famous works of gothic horror literature? A pet theory of mine.

In 1847 a ship bound from the Mediterranean to England is caught in a terrible storm in the Bay of Biscay. The crew are supersitious that a mysterious, coffin-like box on board the ship could be the cause of their bad fortune. The box bears only the address of an Oxford academic - could it be a cadaver bound for the doctor's dissection table? Soon the crew are demanding for the box to be opened. The carpenter removes the fastenings from the box, opens the lid and reveals ... a large Tuna packed in salt.

StartPlayingJoin The Heirs of Harrow House - Theater of the Mind / Discord - GURPS | StartPlaying GamesYou and others are all the far flung descendants of the Harrow family, a once proud noble lineage fallen on hard times. Summoned back to your ancestral home on the death of the last Harrow to actually live in the manor, you are told to come and take possession of your inheritance, your birthright. Delve deep into the ruins of this grand estate, and find out how and why the Harrow family fell from grace . . . and what horrors lie hidden on the island it inhabits. Inspired by games such as Darkest Dungeon and gothic fiction like the Fall of the House of Usher. the Heirs of Harrow House is an expedition into eldritch horror and dark fantasy. The heroes, such as they are, are flawed, but wield faith, flintlocks, and blades to defeat whatever lurks in the darkness. Will they, or their sanity, survive?

I just finished #reading #TheSouthernBookClubsGuideToSlayingVampires by #GradyHendrix. This is the first book in a long time that has kept me up reading WAY too late. In spite of having a kid at home sick and needing my care, I finished this book in less than 3 days.

On the story: while the bloodsucker in question is, indeed, horrifically awful, the character I most despised was the MC's husband.
