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.

It's nice when the mad scientist turns out to be truly, completely, unquestionably, certifiably mad.
A good ending.
By the pricking of my laptop, Dr V.'ll be coming back...top. Returning next spring with an army of undead lunatics, each more bonkers than the last! One says, "Brains!", another says, "Merry Christmas!"
My guess for the Small Things - fairies seeking revenge for the horrific damage caused by Beth in the events of Peter and the Changeling.
Iness = Half a beer. Fun fact: after five pints of Gruness, it's medically impossible to ask for anything but Iness.
Ahhh they get their own pet monster. They should get a pet for the pet monster, but I don't think he could be trusted - he doesn't know his own strength. Maybe a hedgehog or tortoise or some other hardy animal :)
Oooh we get to guess the next baddie! Are the Small Things germs? Maybe Peter and Dill get a cold (or man-flu!) and have to battle the snot! I like Rubberduck's idea of it being fairies of some description. It could also be an infestation of rabid mice.
Just a thought, where's Dill going to get his werewolf cure now? Or do they know enough to be able to make wolfsbane pills themselves? And is Gwen going to make an appearance in the next story?!
VW: unturl. The opposite of turl.
I like the Frank drawing.
yeah, can't wait for Dill's reaction when he realizes his werewolf doctor is gone
pepab: the pattering sound of the Small Things' feet creeping up on Peter and Dill
I briefly considered the mall with the mannequins and the swamp thing's lair as well, but the creepy shack just felt right. Well, Grandpa's dungeon might've been a good fit, if it weren't for Grandpa.
For the new story, I'm gonna buck the trend and say "little green Martians." It's gonna involve Officer Jenkins, so I would guess it has to be something that he can believe
VW: digal. As in, "Digal is on fire wit dis one!"
I like the fake title! The idea of the fake title, anyway.
Is it bad of me to want Dill to stay a werewolf a while? So long as he has free will, I fail to see the harm. Especially considering he is fictional.
Word verification: nosive
I like the fake title idea too. That way i can keep guessing who / what the "monster" is. That is until I figure out what it is.
I'm curious though, is the fake title supposed to be related to the antagonist / the evidence or is it "random"?
For example this book could have been: "Peter and the missing corpses", "Peter and the shambling chaser" or "Peter and the red herring.
By the way is there any chance that one of Peters adventures turns out to be mundane or a hoax (nothing supernatural despite the evidence to the contrary). Or even "only" a misunderstanding with no "bad guys"?
MistyCat -
Well, they're definitely scarier that way...
Glad you liked it!
Rubberduck -
OOOOOORRRR...maaaaaaaaaaaybe we'll go visit him in the asylum...
Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh.
As for your guess: hmmmm...
Cat -
I LOVE that. I think Peter and Dill will have to battle snot at some point; it's too good.
Either that or Dill HAS to have a conversation about it...
As for the pills, he's good for awhile with his current stash, but the guys WILL have to deal with the situation eventually.
Fiona -
Thanks!
Oh, Dill probably wouldn't care - until GF locked him up in the basement again.
Um the Muse -
Actually, we WILL have a "Peter And The Aliens" story SOMEDAY...but not today.
Todd -
No, I think it's fine. It will come in handy some day...
Eldoran -
Ehhhh...I don't want to comment, I might give too much away...
And I definitely want to do a story someday where nothing really happens. I just like the monster ones too much.
Afterthought: "nosive" went well with the snot.
That was a good ending - I love that the dog was OK (though it seems to be they really should have taken him to a vet to check for broken bones etc.) and that Alpha didn't have to get killed, and gets a safe place to live. That puppy-loving monster is really kind of sweet.
It is a bit sad that Dr. V get blamed for the werewolf killings and what not, when he seemed like... Well, a basically nice person when he wasn't going all those-fools-at-the-academy on us. But at the same time, it's probably the most practical solution. Though really, if they think he's a serial killer, that might make him saying he wants Peter to be his apprentice - within the hearing of cops and paramedics and what not - a bit of a problem...
Also, Frank totally needs a dog. Maybe a feral doberman or something. Which he would love and pamper of until it turned into a big, ferocious-looking marsmallow.
Oh, and to Eldoran - re the idea of one adventure turning out to be something non-supernatural: do you watch Torchwood by any chance? There's one episode in season 1 that you really ought to see... One of the most horrifying situations they have to deal with turns out to be not so alien after all (no further details, in the interests of avoiding spoilers).
WV: cricepti: (pl, Latin - sing. criceptus) the holders of an important office in the Roman amphitheatre, involving overseeing a sport sometimes engaged in between gladiatorial bouts, wherein the players batted the severed heads of fallen gladiators around with wide bats. Thought to be the origin of the modern game of cricket.
