I'm listening..."Wish I Had an Angel", by Nightwish

12:39 Jun 29 2017

It's from some years ago, but I still love it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xPIdta_uXI

I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel tonight

Deep into a dying day
I took a step outside an innocent heart
Prepare to hate me fall when I may
This night will hurt you like never before

Old loves they die hard
Old lies they die harder

I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I`m in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight

I`m going down so frail `n cruel
Drunken disguise changes all the rules

Old loves they die hard
Old lies they die harder

I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I`m in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight

Greatest thrill
Not to kill
But to have the prize of the night
Hypocrite
Wannabe friend
13th disciple who betrayed me for nothing!

Last dance, first kiss
Your touch my bliss
Beauty always comes with dark thoughts

I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I`m in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight

I'm rading... "A Misterious Stranger" (anonymous)

09:40 Jun 26 2017
Times Read: 200


"The Mysterious Stranger", a short story and anonymous tale originally published in German in 1823 and translated into English soon after, is the earliest vampire story with many of the elements that later found their way into Bram Stoker's Dracula: a Carpathian Mountains setting, an aristocratic vampire who sleeps in a coffin in a ruined crypt by day and has dominion over wolves, a young woman in peril.... Long out of print, this story is a gripping read in its own right

"He was a man of about forty, tall, and extremely thin. His features could not be termed uninteresting – there lay in them something bold and daring – but the expression was on the whole anything but benevolent. There were contempt and sarcasm in the cold gray eyes, whose glance, however, was at times so piercing that no one could endure it long. His complexion was even more peculiar than his features; it could neither be called pale nor yellow; it was sort of gray, or, so to speak dirty white, like that of an Indian who had been suffering long from fever; and was rendered still more remarkable by the intense blackness of his beard and short cropped hair"

I'm reading... "The Skeleton Count, or The Vampire Mistress", by Elizabeth Caroline Grey

09:18 Jun 22 2017
Times Read: 218


Written in 1828, it is alleged to be the first vampire story written and published by a woman. At first, it was published as a "penny dreadful" and, on my opinion, it has all the elements for being considered a "gothic novel" (dark atmosphere, a castle, uncanny situations, etc.). Moreover, elements of the story have become mainstays in the vampire genre: the Count with the castle on the hill, a vampire mistress who seeks the blood of young maidens, the villagers storming the castle, and the wooden stake to kill the vampire.

I must confess that I had never heard of this story before yesterday. How is it possible that a vampire story, with a female vampire, written by a woman in 1828 – long before Carmilla and Dracula, and even before Clarimonde – managed to completely escape my notice? I wonder.

So recommendable.

Oh, it's an old novel and I think it maybe free of copyrights so you should find it free in internet. Try it. I'm reading it in Spanish from a big volume that contains short unknowned stories about vampires, different from Dracula. Thank you for your comment.





 

I'm reading.... "The vampire, or the Bride of the isles", by James Robinson Planché

09:27 Jun 21 2017
Times Read: 226


This melodrama was first performed at the English Opera House (Lyceum) on 9 August 1820 and was first published by John Lowndes in London in the same year. It was Planché’s first success and an adaptation of a French melodrama, Le Vampire by Pierre Carmouche, Charles Nodier and Achille de Jouffry, which was first staged in Paris on 13 June 1820; this French play was itself inspired by John Polidori’s tale, The Vampyre, published in 1819 and based on Fragment of a Novel, written by Lord Byron in 1816.

Reimagining the Vampire... Embedded deep within Eastern European legend loomed the morose creature of the Vampire. Roaming the hills often as a reanimated peasant, seeking the hot throbbing blood of the human being, this creature was hardly an attractive entity to its victims. Upon its initial premiere on the London stage at the Lyceum Theatre on August 19, 1820, J.R. Planche’s gothic play, The Vampire existed as the first presentation of this acrimonious being as one who possessed great charm and elegance. Now with great attraction to onlookers did this new monster, re-imagined by Planche, move with the utmost ease into and out of his victims lives and with the greatest of trust did these victims befriend this monster based on only the celestial physical appearance possessed by the vampire. The novel persona of eloquent sophistication concealing the repugnant demon inside served as the incitement for the image of the modern day vampire. Other innovative elements (such as the location of the play and technological advancements of stage machinery) aided in the creation of this new personage through J.R. Planche’s new vision of Gothic literature.

I'm really loving this story...
