Tim Bradstreet, ''A Dozen Black Roses'' by Nancy A. Collins, 1996 In the 90s, Nancy A. Collins created the character of Sonja Blue, a vampire who hunts vampires, struggling to maintain control of herself from "The Other", an entity that might be a demon or might just be the personification of Blue's own psychopathia (born from the trauma of how she was turned which was not gentle to put it politely). I remember there being no romanticization of vampirism in Collins world which is hard and cruel and unapologetically bloody. There's no listless ennui. Vampires are monsters who kill. Sonja just targets predators and people she can rationalize as "deserving to die." It was fun reading at the time and the wedding of vampires with the punk aesthetic worked for me. If that sounds interesting, then I suggest giving 'Midnight Blue: the Sonja Blue Collection' a read.

I wanted to make more specific ones like me listening to songs about anti capitalism on my way to my corporate office job or me listening to songs about hard drugs on my way to pick up a lil legal recreational weed as a treat or silly things like that but I always feel like a goober when I try to meme

Around this time of year I like to remind people of the Kern Kounty Klowns of 2014 Unfortunately (?) I moved away from Bakersfield by this point, but I remember it made me feel a weird sense of pride. That's MY creepy clown town! Halloween in the valley feels like Halloween, unlike the Bay Area, where I was stuck at the time. When I moved to Chico, I rediscovered rock and roll on the radio (in the Bay, in the early 2010s, it seemed I was in a rock desert. The one commercial rock station was rebranded to 'everything alternative' except """"alternative"""" was like Foster the People and Vampire Weekend kinda stuff with a 90s alt song tossed in now and then. It was peak nO oNe LiSteNs tO rOcK aNyMoRe and just. fuck that.) and a good and proper Halloween scene.
