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.

Ooh! Ooh! Plants! We like plants. There's nothing that says, "Science!" quite like a simple potometer in a greenhouse. But I agree with Dill, I wouldn't put the Amorphophallus (hooray for latinate censor-dodging!) anywhere I had to smell it too often.
Now, I'm fairly worried about Dill's pills. Will Dill's pills produce thrills, or are the skills of the doctor fo rill? That is, will they work? And what happens if they do work and Dr. V. dies and can't make them anymore? He's too friendly to not be killed off by the monster as soon as it appears.
Reche - a French word, originally used in agriculture but now used to mean a process gone horribly, horribly wrong.
Rubberduck-
Unless he IS the monster...Remember, Frankenstein's monster in the book was VERY articulate, not the Karloff version that we know.
fullyse- I cannot fullyse whether he is the monster or the "Good doctor" himself
Oh shoot, Mary, I think that you just ruined the surprise :)
I wonder how he can support a greenhouse in a high school. Is it one of those rich private schools or something?
Cool, anti-wolf pills. That must have taken him most of the night to get to work right.
And I would worry about some of the plants that he has there, who knows maybe a plant is the monster. That or he will take something that will make him monster like. Doctor V is one of those crazy inventor types, could take something that isn't good for him I would guess.
You know, I was going to suggest that Dill took homoeopathic aconite (another name for wolfsbane). After all, homoeopathy doesn't make logical sense in that the more dilute something is, the stronger it is (although I know it works): and the werewolf black blood molecule thing also makes no kind of logical sense with their crazy combining yet not getting bigger! So together, their non-logic should cancel out and make perfect sense!
I like that Dr Veedermeier tested the wolfsbane on himself first - it's hardly foolproof, since Dill's a child and infected with lycanthropy, but much better than giving it to him untested. I've reassessed my original impression of Dr V. He's still a bit weird, but not as bad as I first thought!
VW: spani. With these new pills, Dill will no longer turn into a wolf-boy. He will instead be a spani. This is a watered-down version of a wolf-boy, much like a spaniel is a watered-down version of a wolf.
@Mary - I'm doubtful that Dr. V'll be the monster - for one thing the whole point is that it was supposed to be created (and hideous), and we haven't seen anything like that about him; and secondly he's just too goshdarned nice. Really the only way I could see it working is if he was in an accident (werewolf attack?) and had to remake himself.

Rubberduck -
Nice rhymin', Duck!
And you're thinking eleven steps ahead...
Mary -
Dr. V the monster?
Hmmmm...
Um the Muse -
How does he support the greenhouse?
Hmmmm...
daymon34 -
A monster plant...that would be cool...
Cat -
Aconite, cool. Didn't know that.
Yeah, Dr. V is a wild and crazy (but concerned) dude.
And definitely weird.
Rubberduck -
Nice word! Awesome.
