Finally managed to watch Nosferatu (2024) - enjoyed it enormously - had that #ClassicHorror feel which really appeals to me.

Book Review: @johnfleonard.bsky.social returns with 'Strowg,' a novella that is equal parts horrific & touching. What happens when Strigoi take up residence in Bledbrooke? We get brutality & the longing for love. This was fantastic!
