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.

“Hey, dude, I’m in the room,” Dill said indignantly.
I love that part.
Can't Grandfather back Peter up on the seven-feet-tall part?
As a man of rational thought, he just can't believe what he didn't see. And probably believes that kids will make up things to get attention.
This line struck me as funny: Finally, he spoke. “Okay, you can go back to talking to the old dude.”
I'd say Peter is really sure there was a werewolf, at least a werewolf-like-monster. He saw the guys turn into and then back again, not to mention the howling and the other things...
Even his grandfather saw one of them as monster and reverting back, or at least as dead guy afterwards.
So they are sure werewolves were involved, but it isn't proven the scratch was caused by a werewolf. Only they COULD have done and the fact that the fur sprouted spontaneously just as he was supposed to turn, if he had been turned into a werewolf. I'd say that is pretty good evidence. IF the fur suddenly disappears next morning, it would sort of prove the theory (Lycanthropy-light). I'm surprised, that nobody mentioned this possibility yet. Even a "only" sudden growth during the "full"-moon nights prove the theory.
Dr. V. is sceptical? So why is Dill so important even before he's a confirmed werewolf? I guess he just can't belive his luck. Fortunately, there's not really any doubt that there ARE werewolves, as both Peter and Grandfather saw them transform. I thought Dr. V. had seen this before? Hopefully he's just being cryptic rather than crazy...but considering the title of the book, the chances of that are, uh, slim.
No posts yesterday - in my case at least it was because there was nothing to say.
Momba = A type of dance only ever seen performed by parents at school discos. The sole purpose appears to be as embarassing as possible to the child while displaying the least amount of skill.
My bets are on this guy as the villain. He'd seem the type to try to make a Frankenstein.
Peter, stay away from this guy. He gives the impression of being nuttier than a fruit cake.
Time to look at the "scratch" on Dill's leg.
Long past time to look at the scratch on Dill's leg. Werewolf or not, if it's a bite, it needs attention. If it is actually a werewolf bite, then they need to get him somewhere with the equipment to take samples from the wound. Somewhere like a well-equipped science lab.
Oh, wait...
VWord: glogings. Glogings: n. Decayed food residue left on uncleaned teeth.
"The edges of Dill's wound showed the glogings from the werewolf bite."
Right, this Dr Veedermeier bloke is definitely creepy - I'd be terrified if I were in Dill's position. Even without knowing the title of the story I'd have him pegged for a villain, since he seems dispassionate bordering on psychotic! I'm just glad there don't seem to be any lab animals in this place; that'd give me nightmares, and not in a good way.
Good point, Rubberduck - why does Dr V think Dill's so important, if he's so sceptical?!
awww...I thought Dr. V was kinda cute...
Todd -
We're gettin' there...
Glad you liked the line, though!

Well, he's just cautious about believing 10 year-olds, that's all.

Rubberduck -
He's one in a million, RD!
He's seen SOMETHING like this before...
N7 -
Maybe I should have named it PETER AND THE SCIENCE TEACHER...
MistyCat -
Yup!
Cat -
Creepy?! Really?! Already? I think he's odd, but in a nice way. And DISPASSIONATE?! He's a nice bald-headed man!

Thank you! He's kind of modeled on Dr. Honeydew from THE MUPPETS - you know, the one that had Beaker as an assistant.
