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.

You couldn't resist it, huh? Well, I thought it was pretty funny. I tell you, never saw that coming.
The crazy thing was still twitching? Ahhh!
Oh, and you still didn't explain why the sprinklers/ fire alarms never went off. Or did that fall under "small town budget?"
It's my birthday!!! in two hours and seven minutes(3:15).
I don't like birthdays. It means I'm another year farther from being a kid. >.<
Yay for whales falling from the sky! Not a common occurance, yet more common than one would think.
(I can think of a few examples)
WV: gadamol
The sound used to express slightly more than mild suprise.
Wow, a quite elaborate way to smash it. I had thought that Gwen could do this when she tried to shoot him the first time, but I wasn't sure it would work - these fiberglass sculptures are big, but relatively light.
Yay my psychic vision of a whale falling on the Mummy courtesy of Gwen was right! Still think a shark should have eaten it though... :D
I was wondering about fire alarms/sprinkler systems too. Maybe the museum deliberately doesn't have sprinklers in case the water damages the exhibits (more than fire?!) amd the alarms might be manual?
Happy birthday Mina! How far away from being a kid are you, if it's not rude to ask? Don't worry, you can be quite far from being a kid in years but not in attitude lol
@ Cat:
Well, I'm not that far. I'm 14 now. I know I am still realy young, but I miss being a little kid. >.<
Question:
Am I the youngest commenting reader?
WV: insmsh
The sound made by a person who is either choking or has been gagged and is unable to speak.
"Peter jumped. Neferhotep's hand had detached and was crawling towards him with shocking speed. But before he could shout to Gwen to shoot it, it had been crushed by a small bowl of petunias which seemed to have come down with the whale.
'Well, that was lucky,' thought Peter, 'though it did seem somewhat contrived just to make some kind of reference."
Yay! So is this the end of old tall, dark, and flaming?
Mothlial = A very rare type of insect, which can have a wingpsan of up to 250 metres. Natural predators include lizards.
And that my friends is how to make flat mummy cakes, remember hitting it with a killer whale is very important.
At least Peter remembered that the whale was up there. Now hopefully that sucker will stay down. I just don't want to see the bill.
Oh yeah, happy birthday Mina. I don't know about the youngest, I remember a dad use to read to his kids from the site. Not sure if he still does, I think the frankenstien scared them good.
Um the Muse -
I'm...not...sure...what I couldn't resist? Crushing the mummy?
Cool, glad you liked it!
The...uh, sprinkers/fire alarm apparatus...well, everybody's in the great hall, which is about 50 or 60 feet high, so the fire down at 6 feet didn't set off any heat alarms, and formaldehyde burns without...smoke...
Dang it, I just didn't think of it.
Maybe I'll put it in the next page.
Plus, It woulda put out the mummy, and that wouldn't have been as cool...
"The mummy burst into flames."
"Suddenly, the fire alarm sounded!"
"The sprinklers sprayed!"
"PSSSSSSSHHHHhhh."
"The mummy went out."
Mina -
Happy birthday! Glad you liked it!
Really? I've heard of frogs and fish, but whales?!
Eldoran -
Relatively light?!
Actually, it's funny you mentioned that, because how much the mummy weighs is a minor plot point in the next story (more like a throwaway detail). Imagine my surprise when I looked and found that most mummies weigh something like 5 or 10 pounds.
I had to fudge quite a bit. Werewolf Dill would have demolished a 5 pound mummy... although Dill would have probably not weighed more than 100 pounds or so in werewolf form...
Cat -
Yeah, when you said that, I was like, "DANG IT, CAT!"
The shark was a pretty good suggestion, though.
There you go. Manual alarms. I like that.
Mina -
YAAAAAAY for 14!
I'm continually worried that nobody under 18 reads this story, and so I'm extremely psyched that you're 14 (and were reading it at 13!).
I always tell people, "Yeah, I write these horror stories for kids." And they look at me funny, and I'm like, "No, no, it's like HARRY POTTER but with non-magical kids. And not British. And scarier." And they're like, "Oh, so what age are most of your readers?" and I'm like, "Uh...high school...and college...and 20's and 30's...I think..."
By the way, I think you may win the prize for youngest commenter!
Rubberduck -
Hahahaha! I had no idea what you were referencing until I googled what Mina said about raining whales! Nice reference.
(To HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY, evurbody.)
The end?!
It's NEVER the end.
BWA-HA-HA-HAAAAAAAA!!!

The bill is actually the subject of the very first scene in the next story. And you thought the mummy was scary...
That's true, there was a parent who read the stories to his kids. They were most scared by the swamp monster story, I think...last I heard from the dad was back around the mannequins...
