Lord Bryon's Vampire Story, "Augustus Darvell" and Story Round Up

 In 1817, Lord Bryon wrote Augustus Darvell, a "fragment" of a vampire story. It's quite short and and worth the read.

Not too many stories in this week's Herald News. Septic woes on Monday are still not completely resolved. I had "resolved" to talk to Fr. Boris about them on Sunday.

However, he called me today. He had decided on the way home from rodding the septic that it would probably need more work and offered, nay, promised, to come back next week to finish the job. Fr Boris is awesome!

Anyway, I'm behind all over the place with work-related writing. Gonna be a busy week and weekend!
