Voices from the Vaults is a newsletter of The Dracula Society.

Reactions and Reviews

Would that it were otherwise, but those issues of Voices ... we have to hand date from the 'early nineties, single-sheet affairs for the most part, providing details of the Annual Bram Stoker banquet, the quarterly meet at The George Inn on Borough High Street, recent fang-related publications and cinema releases, not much else. Gabrielle Podova's modest Vamps is an Encyclopaedia Phantasmagoria in comparison. The one exception being this twelve-pager.[1]

Reactions and Reviews

In the words of Katherine Haynes, issue comprises John "The Cancer Chronicles" Madracki, "on practically everything under the sun, with put-down comments by the editor," the small support cast barely getting a look in. Drac Soc. co-founder Bernard Davies' contribution is "in response to last issue's cover," but copy before me is missing four pages - including the review of this mysterious The Power of the Cross - so have no idea what he or Des Bradley are talking about.

The good news is, The Dracula Society remain an ongoing concern, and their website generously provides a free sample issue of a post-Millennial, much improved Voices From The Vault. Download yours HERE[2]
