Sheridan Le Fanu

 Bram Stoker


The current trend on Twitter about Queen Camilla reminded me of a book I read several years ago by the Irish writer, Sheridan Le Fanu,
The story is nothing like Camilla Parker Bowles; the short story is about a vampire.

At the end of the original Dracula, Bram Stoker gave thanks to this story as his inspiration; the story pre-dates Dracula by almost 20 years.

      The story involves the age of problems of vampires, that of staying young and appealing. To do so, Camilla has to attract young ladies to her home in order to drink their blood. One such young lady causes concerns for ner boyfriend when she goes missing, after tracing her movemnets, the bf finds her on the bed with Camilla standing oer her. As he looks around he notices that her name is similar to that of other ladies, but she changes the letters. The story ends different to the "usual" with no opening of windows to let sunlight in.

 The lady is NOT my type Though I am olde, and have standards, I am not a stic-in-the-mud, it does take someting nasty to offend me, and for the second time it has happened.  As with the first incident , the offense involved a young colored lady with larrge breasts, I have nothing againsr coloured ladies, I wasbot offended by this laady asking to see my penis as soon as we chatted, it was a little weird she was so forawrd when she'd only been chatting a few minutes to ask. What I found offensive, again, is she assumed having large reasts, and in her case an oversize bottom was what I like In short, she has nothing of interest for me..
