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.

"That's cuz I'm a werewolf," Dill said, then froze.
I laughed so hard at that, I had to stop reading.
"We spent over an hour with him before…before he died." Peter looked at his Grandfather will all the anger he could muster.
I assume "will" is supposed to be "with."
Hey guys, because of a family emergency, I might not be able to post for awhile.
Best wishes to you and yours.
May I also congratulate Stu on living through the whole story while remaining likable and cool! He has a rare gift for defying the conventional rules of drama.
Dill's quick healing must come in handy what with all the scrapes he gets into. I wonder if it'll get any faster as he gets older, until he'll be like a fart-joke-dispensing Wolverine! (This will of course make Peter the fart-joke-dispensing Batman.)
Hoping your emergency doesn't turn out too, um, emergencous. And, since my v-word is cardia, I'm using emergencous as my v-word definition, namely "something that warrants an emergency and is worrying".
Excellent story! Thanks, Darren.
I hope the emergency isn't too serious.

Okay, I cried/teared up at the end of that one.
And what I wouldn't GIVE to be a fly on the wall for THAT conversation.
Hope the family emergency turns out okay.
Will say a few prayers.
WV- Cocerm- How Beth would express concern
Oh that is going to be some conversation, I wonder if Peter is going to get the whole truth or just parts of it again.
And if they believed Dill, he would spend the rest of his life locked in a room and get poked all day long.
Take it easy and hope it works out for you.
Nice for them to actually have a bit of evidence on their side for once... And while I'm sad about Gus, I'm not surprised. I sort of figured the writing was on the wall for that one. :-( I'm glad Stu made it, though.
And also, strangely, relieved that the mother and baby yeti are OK. The yetis didn't seem to be evil, just predators doing what predators do. And they seemed to have enough intelligence that maybe they can learn to avoid eating humans and just stick to animals, now that mama has seen that humans can be kind. Maybe she'll raise the baby as a deeritarian. :-)
On the family emergency front - no worries about the story delay. I just hope everything's OK.
WV: ohminfas: an obscure religious term of Zoroastrian origin, referring to resistance to spiritual growth.
Another fantastic story, (hey: both meanings of the word fit!).
I hope everything turns out OK for your family, Darren.
The next story sounds interesting. I notice you didn't put the monster's name on the chapter title. I'm going to guess this will be a sad ghost story. I hope the title has nothing to do with this family emergency, though!
Ahh, I just got back from doing some field work. I'm sorry about your family emergency, I hope everything turns out okay. :(
Hey everybody -
Thanks for the well wishes.
My grandmother had a heart attack and I had to leave town. She's okay now; thankfully they got to her in time.
Now we continue with PETER AND THE MORGUE - not inspired by this trip, thankfully, but by an incident from my last hospital adventure last year...
Just a warning: it will be a bit dark...

Glad you liked it!
That's three in a row, isn't it? Or four?
Rubberduck -
Haha! I like that, "a gift for defying the conventional rules of drama." I wish I had that gift.
MistyCat -
Thanks!
Mary -
Wow! Over Gus, I'm assuming?
And don't worry - you WILL be. A fly on the wall, that is.

Hmmmmm...
Yes, it's a good thing they DON'T believe him.
misslynx -
Yeah, I wouldn't say the yetis were evil. The swamp monster wasn't really evil, either.
But they were MESSED UP all the same. Don't wanna ever meet either one of them.

Thanks!
Um the Muse -
Nope, we're clear of the morgue so far (knock on wood).
Rai -
It did! Thanks!
