PETER AND THE VAMPIRES is a horror/comedy web novel (and a free podcast!)about a normal, 10-year-old kid who moves into a sinister town filled with supernatural horribleness. The series is composed of different "monster of the week" stories - kind of like THE X-FILES crossed with THE SIMPSONS (if Mr. Burns were a ghoul and something terrifying lived in the town dump). "Peter And The Dead Men" is the first story in the collection. A new page is posted every day.

Oh poor Melisa, she is almost going to have a break down.
The good news is if they aren't human and she sees them. It can be blamed on stress so she will not have to be dragged into the world of Peter and Grandpa.
Just don't let her see the writing on the wall... I mean on the window.
Normal kids probably wouldn't remember to write all the letters backwards, so that Peter can read them.
Anyone want to bet that at least one of them is an illusionist? My money is on the fishbowl-head kid; based on Marvel comics, lol.
This one really is the creepiest/best. Perfect for Halloween!

Having Peter's mom involved in a scary situation for a change is kind of cool - up until now she's been kind of the representative of normality, oblivious to all the weird stuff...
And yet, if she grew up there, as part of the apparently cursed family, she must have experienced some of it when she was a kid! Makes you wonder if maybe she just blocked it out of her mind when she grew up and moved away, and now it's all coming back...
Maybe this happened before when she was growing up. They know her name and all. We only know that she wasn't allowed in the garden as a kid, not much else from her childhood (which I would be interested in learning more about (: ).
I bet she didn't block it out, but just kind of wrote it off as being a kid and her wild imagination. After all, why would she think Peter was lying about all the stuff that was happening if she had experienced it before?
Chibi bad guys!!!
I know its supposed to be creepy.. but now i cant be really scared with the image of chibi bad guys... and then a chibi godzilla/swamp monster shows up and chomps them down!
Go Chibi Swamp Monster!
sorry i know completely off topic but i had to share heheh
I'm loving that everybody's creeped out! And it's even better that the story is inspiring new posters to voice their comments. Thanks guys, I always enjoy hearing from everyone!

Too late about the writing on the window. And nice catch about the letters on the windows having to be backwards- I didn't even think of that!
Even nicer catch about Fishbowl. Yup, he's basically modeled after Mysterio, one of Spiderman's villains. Well, modeled after the fishbowl part of the costume. I can assure you he's not an illusionist, though.

Glad you like that! Yes, in future stories (WAY future ones, like, years away) Mom WILL have to confront the supernatural nastiness that Duskerville inspires. However, and I think I've only alluded to it in MANNEQUINS - maybe in VAMPIRES, too - but this much weird stuff has NEVER happened all at once in such a short time frame before. So in all likelihood, Mom never came across even 1% of the creepiness that Peter has experienced. Well...maybe more than 1%. We'll see by the end of the story...

Excellent points. By the time PSYCHOS ends, we'll see a bit more of what you're talking about...and see that Mom has sometimes been ENCOURAGED to write things off as coincidence...

Are they creepier now, what with the knives and meat cleavers? Maybe they're chibi knives...
