Dracula Beyond Stoker

Submissions are now open for Dracula Beyond Stoker Issue 8: Van Helsing.

The one you’ve all been waiting for.
Doctor. Professor. Lawyer…Monster hunter.
Abraham Van Helsing has become a legend—but how did he get there?

Submissions open 11/1 – 12/31/2025.

Full guidelines at DBSPress.com.

So glad you found us!

Being a Dracula aficionado, I only regret I haven't discovered DBS before. My favorite texts include the grim epistolary piece by @markoxbrow.bsky.social, the gothic story of regaining your true self by @llgarland.bsky.social, and the heart-rending masterwork set in contemporary LA by Amelia Mangan.

Van Helsing is coming!

(If you've read my Miss Lucy Harker novels, yes, an adventure featuring Lucy's mom.)

COMING SOON: “Lickety’s Got the Touch” and Other Trash Tales! Earth is under attack! All around the globe, everyday machines are springing to life in the form of horny robots. Humanity is on the brink of destruction, until sex worker-cum-astrophysicist Licket…

I’ll be wandering around StokerCon next Saturday hoping to meet past, present, and future DBS authors. Whom might I see?

Guess who has a short story in issue 6 of @dbs-press.bsky.social ? Go on, guess! #Dracula #horror

I’ve had both the score and the soundtrack on heavy rotation since I left the theater 2 weeks ago. Such an awesome experience.

Came home from a Friday night out to find proofs waiting for me!

Just a few short weeks till I can get these in your hands.

Join us tonight at the Darkside After Dark Night Market at Broken Goblet(2500 State Rd, Bensalem, PA) from 4 PM to 11 PM for a special unveiling!

A brand-new, unannounced book will be available exclusively at the event.

Don’t miss your chance to grab a copy before anyone else knows it exists!

I read so many Dracula stories that I sometimes forget what is canon and what isn’t. (Also what is published and what isn’t). But I just finished my first full reread in about 2 years in prep for an upcoming project and damn is that a good book.

Yes. But if we’re honest, as long as it’s in my inbox before I wake up tomorrow it’s all good.

Today is the last day to submit your work for the Jonathan Harker issue of Dracula Beyond Stoker!

As long as it’s in before the ball drops, it’ll be considered.

Just returned home from Nosferatu, and it was everything I wanted it to be. It performs a magic trick of being simultaneously faithful to the original and somehow its own thing.

Absolutely love the character design for Orlok. Reminds me a bit of Alex McVey’s Dracula.

Can’t wait to see it again.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday.

Hope you all get a chance to see Nosferatu today.

The one where I try to get caught up reading subs for the Jonathan Harker issue of DBS and likely fall a little short.
