Dracula Beyond Stoker Issues 1.5




There are two quick stories in Dracula Beyond Stoker. Mia Dalia’s In Ink, In Blood and Jessica Gleason’s Reinfield in America: A Blog.

In Ink, In Blood. This is written like a personal diary of a young child that finds the true magic of reading books. They get to experience the words and illustrations in a unique, remarkable kind of way and form lifelong connections to the characters of some books. This is a unique story that ended way too fast! I would love to see this as a novella. There are so many adventures that could take place. I enjoy Dalia’s writing and her unique imagination with stories. This is the second story I have read and I do hope to read more.

Reinfield in America: A Blog: A quick story between Dracula and one of his servants having an online fight. Dracula is just wanting some time away and his servant is upset about it. A really entertaining short! I wasn’t sure what to expect with this one. I don’t really gravitate towards reality-type stories, but this one was so much fun! I got quite a few chuckles with it. Gleason has a wittiness kind of style to her writing in this story. I have not read anything else by Gleason, so I don’t know if this is a common writing style. I am going to have to find out!

If you have an hour to spend, pick this up over Amazon. I think it’s very entertaining and it will expose you to a couple of awesome new authors.

Intergalactic Exterminators, Inc by Ash Bishop

  Thank you to #NetGalley, #AshBishop, and #VictoryEditing for letting me read and review #IntergalacticExterminatorInc.  Russ and Nina are in need of some financial help and a break from the stress of just trying to live a regular life. Then one day, Russ finds a rare gem in his late grandfather’s book shop. He asks his grandmother about the stone, and she does not know anything about it. She tells Russ to take it to Nina, who might know what it is. Only, Nina has no clue, as well. Thus begins a story unlike any Earthling could imagine. This story gave me many Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy vibes. There is planetary traveling, portals, humor, odd creatures, witty banter and a smidgeon of romance.  If you enjoy the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and need something similar, I highly recommend Intergalactic Exterminators, Inc. There is so much potential for more of this story, I am hoping for a series. I would love to learn more about the Intergalactic Exterminators cre...

The Trunk by Mia Dalia

  This was a crazy story! It starts out smooth as molasses and then gets all twisted and dark. It’s one of those stories that escalates quickly going all outta left field. Bogdan and his wife buy their first home together and it comes with a basement… with a trunk in the basement. Nothing else is down in the basement but this weird trunk. He doesn’t think too much of it at first. Until he finally decides to open the trunk. Mia Dalia writes fantastic stories. She has quite an imagination to give her stories lots of twists and turns. She told me once that she enjoys psychology and I think she writes with that in mind. Her writing style invokes humanity’s inner demons and pushes the mind to harrowing events. If you are in the mood for a quick horror story with a psychological twist, you need to read The Trunk and Smile So Red by Mia; she will dig into your brain.

  Thank you #NetGalley and author #LuluMayo for sending me a copy of this fantastic book 101 Super Cute Cat Things to Draw!! This is such a cute book! Lulu Mayo teaches us how to draw some of the cutest little cat things. It starts out with a section of using a color wheel. I love the title of one of them "Pawsitively Pretty Pastels". From there on, the author shows up 101 ways to draw a cat. Such as a cat dragon, a mushroom cat, a cat cabbage, and cats drawn as zodiac signs! Even if you don't draw all of the cats, this is definitely a must-have for all cat lovers!
