Vampire Short Stories
I sighed as his fangs sank into my neck. No, it wasn't a sigh of pleasure and abandonment. It was more a sigh of giving up, accepting that this was a fitting end to a life which hadn't been particularly stellar. No, I wasn't living on the street when the vampire found me, nor was I walking the streets propositioning johns. But expendable; I was the definition of expendable.
I like writing vignettes, short stories. I can pick something, like dialogue or tone, and see if I can really produce a piece of writing that exemplifies it. Over the last year and a half, it has turned out that I can. I have managed to produce around fifteen totally unique stories with very different voices. I have turned out one a month. As you will note, the March 2009 story is by Nick Jackson, and the April 2009 story is by Max Dorsey, two of my very talented students. The other stories are by me. But all things must finish sometime. I will now be producing them only when I feel like doing so. But I am leaving this rather interesting record of my written growth instead of pulling them. Enjoy.

Read Real Victorian Vampires
Have you ever wondered what the early vampire novels were like? Wondered how vampires of the Victorian period differ from the modern novels that fill bookstore shelves -- or if they differ at all?
My modernized language version of Varney the Vampre: The Feast of Blood allows you to find out. Updated language and removal of excess words (Rymer was paid by the word) make this version the best available. Risen From the Grave is a statement that Sir Francis Varney once again stalks the earth looking to have access to readers.
Risen From The Grave: Varney the Vampyre Part 1: The Feast of Blood is available at any online bookstore, such as Amazon.
So, what is Risen From the Grave: Varney the Vampyre Part 1: The Feast of Blood about?
What is a vampire to do? Sir Francis Varney has needs, just like he did back when he was human. He needs a good house. He needs money to pay servants and to buy the props of humanity. He needs a good wife. But most of all, he needs blood. It is the final need that drives him to Bannerworth Hall during the dark and stormy night, that drives him to break into the bedchamber of Flora Bannerworth, and that drives him to suck her blood.
Sounds like a modern story, doesn't it? Read it for yourself and see how it compares to the modern vampire novels.
What have NON-PAID readers said about Varney?
The characters are nicely developed, you'll find yourself taking sides and giggling at antics throughout the ever changing story's ever changing drama and action. I can't wait for the next volume of this modernized vampire classic! (Arynn -- on Amazon)
This modernization of Varney the Vampyre is an absolute must read for the occult reader or anyone who enjoys tales of thrills and romance. (NicoleAlaine -- on Barnes and Noble)
Will the bite of the vampire force Flora Bannerworth to become a vampire herself? Did Charles Holland, her fiancé, abandon her because he believes she will, or was he abducted forcibly for nefarious reasons? Will Flora be free from threat if the villagers slay the vampire? With Varney The Vampyre book two: The Flight Of The Vampyre Malcom James Rymer continues the saga of Sir Francis Varney, the vampire, exploring the issues raised in personal lives by the presence of a blood-sucking vampire in a small township in Eighteenth century England. This modern language version, Risen From The Grave, produced by Leslie Ormandy allows a modern reader a glimpse of an earlier era, and their ideas of Vampires.
