Thought I'd share some of the vintage/antique book finds from the last ~6 months. ​

Left to right, top to bottom:

In a glass darkly by Sheridan Le Fanu from 1948 — I had been looking for a vintage copy of Carmilla with no luck until I realised it had originally been published in a short stories collection. It's a blue clothbound under the paper slipcover.

Consult Me — undated but from at least 1904 going by the inscription inside. The entry on how to ride a bicycle is hilariously unhelpful.

Modern Cookery by Eliza Acton from 1851 — the spine is missing so will need to do a repair job, otherwise in really good condition for its age.

The Best Way Book 3 — undated but this was originally published sometime around WWI possibly 1915. I now have all three Edwardian volumes in my collection!

Dracula by Bram Stoker — undated but most probably from 40s or 50s as per some research. I had been looking for a 'pocket sized hardback' clothbound edition for a long while now. And this one was also within my budget (most antique/vintage editions of the book go for at least a couple hundred quids at the cheapest).

Now, the only book I am actively looking for is a 'pocket sized hardback' clothbound edition of
Frankenstein. It has the same issue as Dracula. It's gonna be a luck thing to find one. ​

Dracula – Book 1: The Impaler (US)

Bram Stokers Dracula ist eine der prägendsten Figuren des modernen Horrors. Kelley Jones und Matt Wagner aber sind angetreten, die ausgetretenen Pfade des Vampirklassikers zu verlassen und erzählen von den frühen Jahren des Vampirfürsten. Das ist ein gewinnbringender Ansatz, wie sich zeigen wird. Francis Ford Coppola war einer der ersten, der die historische Figur des Vlad Tepes mit dem Dracula-Mythos verknüpft hat, um seinen Dracula-Film von 1992 um eine reizvolle Rahmenerzählung zu bereichern. Mike Mignola hat dazu die Comic-Adaption in stilvollen Panels geliefert, die nur eines nicht konnte: angemessenes Grauen erzeugen angesichts der Monstrosität endloser Reihen von gepfählten Körpern. Hermann Huppen ging ganz anders vor, als er die Spurensuche seine Sohnes Yves Huppen für den Comic Auf Draculas Spuren in direktkolorierten Bildern malte. Bei Huppen packte einen schon bei der Darstellung eines einzigen angespitzten Holzpfahls das nackte Grausen. 2024 erweiterte sich der Reigen der Vlad-Tepes-Stories um die Variante von Horror-Altmeister Kelley Jones, dessen ganze Karriere auf der Darstellung düster-morbider Bilder beruht. In den 80er Jahren interpretierte er DCs Deadman auf stilprägende Weise und zeichnete in …

The Seductive Dracula Scene That Nearly Got Banned — And Changed Vampire Cinema Forever…

#horror#Trailers#horrormovies#Dracula – @hammerfilms – In 1958, Hammer changed vampire cinema forever. But it almost didn’t happen. When censors got their hands on Dracula, they were horrified. The biggest battle centred on two shots of Mina Harker looking at Dracula with unmistakable sexual desire. They wa
