Stoker's Dracula by Roy Thomas7/8/2023 ![]() ![]() Tomb of Dracula: The Complete Collection Vol. Most recently, since 2019, Dracula has become the leader of his own Vampire Nation, serving as an antagonist for the Avengers as well as Wolverine. ![]() But this started changing in the 2000s, when the Lord of the Vampires became a villain for the whole Marvel universe, encountering characters like Captain Britain, the X-Men, or even Deadpool. Count Dracula is presented as a villainous – although at time sympathetic – figure, sometimes fighting alongside the heroes, but always motivated by his hunger for blood and power.įor most of his initial series, Dracula stayed in his own part of the Marvel universe, very rarely crossing over with other titles, and mostly with similarly horrific or supernatural characters. ![]() ![]() The Tomb of Dracula became the most successful of Marvel’s 70s horror comics, telling the story of the continued struggle between a group of vampire hunters and the titular villain. But instead of Kirby-esque creatures from outer space like “Xemnu the Living Hulk” or “Groot from Planet X,” Marvel found its new monsters in literary and cinematographic icons such as Frankenstein’s monster, the Werewolf, and - most notable among them - Dracula. In the 1970s, after having spent more than a decade as a juggernaut of superhero comics, Marvel expanded their line in a new direction, going back to their 50s Atlas Comics tradition of horror and supernatural stories. ![]() Tie Me Down by Melanie Harlow7/8/2023 ![]() Nothing has ever felt so right, but his past has taught him not to believe in happily ever after, and every perfect night I spend in his arms brings us closer to goodbye. And once we give into each other, we can’t stop. That’s not the only big thing he’s got–which I discover the night I finally sneak across the hall to his bedroom and shed my inhibitions right alongside my pajamas. I only returned to my hometown of Bellamy Creek to sell my late mother’s house, and he just invited me and my son to stay with him because he’s got a big heart. But I’m a single mom trying to move on with my life, and he’s running that ranch single-handedly while taking care of his elderly father. ![]() And who wouldn’t appreciate those strong hands, that massive chest, and the way he fills out a pair of Levis? He makes a girl sweat just looking at him. Yes, I’ve had a secret crush on him since we were seventeen. ![]() Sure, he’s a hot cowboy who left Wall Street behind to take over his family’s ranch. That’s all Beckett Weaver and I have ever been. ![]() The Kneebone Boy by Ellen Potter7/8/2023 ![]() ![]() A quirky charmer." - Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review "Metafictional flourishes keep us amused and on our toes as Potter tackles some (at book's end) serious topics from a position both gothic-cheeky and compassionate." - Horn Book Magazine "Potter's voice is distinguished by sharp, humorous, and poignant observations.

Ware captures landscapes made to flatten emotion-a clinic shrouded in snow, a sterile apartment complex-and yet shows the reader the meaning and even beauty in every glimpse from a highway, every snippet of small talk." -"Time" magazine "This haunting and unshakable book will change the way you look at your world.

I wore a very serious, very manly, and very ugly suit. I really wanted to wear my shiny lip gloss and my girly skirt, but I decided not to. And I was worried that if I looked too feminine, I would not be taken seriously. I knew that because I was female, I would automatically have to prove my worth. Instead I was worried about what to wear. Not about the teaching material, because I was well prepared and I was teaching what I enjoyed. The first time I taught a writing class in graduate school, I was worried.
