Vampweb

Ok, some news about something I am launching... go take a look at Vampweb here.  It's a little bit more ambitious than the Vampire news blog, but it's something I've been thinking about taking on for a while.

The news I regularly posted here will also be on there, and I hope over the coming months and years to build the place up into a real hub for everything vampire on the web.

Wish me luck! Anyone that feels like wanting to be in on the project, leave me a message.

Paul.

Harris produces, but no director is named. Lifeforce “follows a group of astronauts who encounter a derelict alien spacecraft hiding an ancient secret. At the vessel, the explorers discover three perfect humanoids who are returned to Earth… and unleash a terrible plague upon the planet.”
