Roam the hallways of Peles Castle with me this #TravelTuesday as I search for vampires in Transylvania and accidentally wind up in a scene from The Shining or Crimson Peak?

Had a blast at the Edgar Allen Poe Experience listening to the spellbinding readings of:

The Cask of Amontillado, Annabel Lee, The Pit and the Pendulum, and The Masque of Red Death.👺🐦‍⬛🕰️

“ I had an affair with my art prof, but that's not what my story is about.”

😂 I laughed out loud at that opening. Love it! 💓

That’s a brilliant, unhinged prequel pitch. 😁⭐️

One comp, Interview With The Vampire, is 49 years old! Am I unhinged for using it? Yep. But Anne Rice mixed history, paranormal, and decadent descriptions of culture and cities around the world. Like a vampire, her books keep moving beyond the grave.🌹 *Agent guide on profile* #UnhingedPit #R #Q

Yay! 🎉
