    Summary

    On moonlit nights much like this one he likes to take a walk down the poplar lined road from his cottage to the old graveyards by the abandoned estate.

    In exile in Nilfgaard, Regis walks the graves of the people who were there before and thinks of the friends and companions that he has lost, of the meaning of mortality and why vampires like graveyards.

    Written for the Graves, Worms, Epitaphs Saovine 2021 challenge.

    Summary

    “If the plague doesn’t kill us, then it’s either war or famine. ‘Death comes swifter, but all the same’.”
    ---
    The higher vampire never had to challenge the notion of death before.

    At least, not before the night of the danse macabre.

    Summary

    It is my custom, you may have noticed, to save those little cases which we have solved until such time as danger to those involved has passed, or until Holmes otherwise suggests I may write about them.

    The happenings at Hurlstone Hall, however, received a very different treatment indeed.

    Summary

    Because of the biting cold outside we’d pushed the sofa as close to the fire as was safe, with me sitting at one end and him perched on the other. Wrapped in his dressing gown he once again reminded me of a bird, perhaps one of those commonly thought of as omens of strange and momentous events.
