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.

Well that explains why Hans likes the boys so much, he's still stuck in his childhood ignorance despite his intelligence. Even I, super awesome scientist realize this. ;)
On another note: My snake gave birth on Christmas!! :D I have snake babies!
v-word: nologna: bologna you do NOT want to eat.
Oops. That was Rai. R works too I suppose...
And boy is he off his rocker. I can see how that would leave an impresion on a child. So he created things by mixing and matching them together, I still wonder what Handy looks like.
They brought the dog into danger?? :( Still, maybe the dog saves the day.
I'm all for the unique and unusual, but there's a reason why inbreeding's a bad thing, otherwise we'd all be marrying our siblings! You see it in some "pedigree" animals, where they develop genetic weaknesses over the generations which cause physical suffering. I'm not sure I agree with the wholesale killing of the animals on Dr V.'s childhood farm, but if they were truly suffering maybe it was for the best, if it was done painlessly. Still, I'm sure at least some of them could have gone to animal sanctuaries and had decent lives.
Dr V.'s right, humans tend to fear what they don't understand, and I actually sympathise with his not wanting to be constrained by convention and beaurocracy. Still, just because one can doesn't mean one should, and ethics are a very important part of science (which many seem to forget).
Hope everyone had a great Christmas or other mid-winter festival, and congratulations to Rai's snake! Aww so cute! Hope you have good homes for all the babies (or I'd want one! lol).
VW: rapolots. A secret order of mediaeval knights who escape detection today by pretending to be involved in the music industry.

Awwwww. I'd say he's still stuck in childhood, rather than childhood ignorance.
Of course, children can be very, very cruel sometimes...
Um...yay for the wee beasties being born! Just...keep them locked up...but yay!

Off his rocker? Just you wait.

Parker never goes anywhere without Percival or Bertha.
Well...Percival, now.
Yeah, I tried to have what Dr. V says make sense from a very non-orthodox perspective. Everything he says is true...if you see major genetic aberrations in a value-free, neutral, non-judgmental way. Think about it: the arguments Dr. V uses against slaughtering the inbred animals are roughly the same arguments we use against the Nazis for when they killed the mentally challenged and the handicapped.
But just wait for where he goes from here.
And for the record, I regard inbreeding of animals as a bad, bad thing. Nor am I equating the animals in Dr. V's stories with the mentally mentally challenged and the physically handicapped. I'm just saying that the argument - that all living things are worthy of remaining living, even if they don't match up to the majority's idea of the 'norm' or 'worthwhile' - is roughly the same.
