A mischievous Bram Stoker Festival addition to the Parnell Monument [on O’Connell Street, Dublin] last night.
(Thanks Conor Grogan)
Update:

Spaghetti Hoop sez:
“Bram Stoker Festival (gets better every year);”
Damn Goths.

I wonder how much you can get a whole festival out of Bram stokers work. Dracula is a masterpiece but the rest is kind of eh
I liked those twilight books he wrote.
Oh Bella, you indecisive moron.
The Snake’s Pass is very good. And it says some interesting things on the GAA.
Bloomsday is only one book. More people know the Dracula story than the Bloom story.
Yes, I think the book is called “Bloomsday”.
Yeah but only about 6 people take part in bloomsday I think
Are those the eyes Parnell used to beguile the nation and a certain Miss K. O’Shea?
The Snake’s Pass is, in my humble opinion, a much better book than Dracula. Properly spooky, and set in Ireland.
Blasphemous?
Stoker wasn’t even the first Irish man to write about vampires. Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla (the inspiration for, among others, Lesbian Vampire Killers) was published 26 years earlier.
That said, hooray for the Bram Stoker festival and hats off to those involved.
Still sore that the new bridge wasn’t named after Bram – not a knock on Rosie Hackett, mind.
I have just seen The Curse of Styria in the Screen cinema as part of the festival, based on Carmilla. Got to meet and do a Q&A with the directors after ‘n all. Brilliant film
Goths on bouncy castles, Goths on bouncy castles!!! Only then will it be a proper festival.
James!
Where have you been hiding out?
Nice to see you roundabouts again.
Is Parnell giving the nazi salute?
No. Showing the way to Cine World.
Northern half of O’Connell St is much scarier than anywhere in Transylvania.
Bloomsday celebrates Joyce’s ‘Ulysses’ and is celebrated all over the world and attracts thousands of people to Dublin in the middle of June each year!
Thankyou Jane, been wondering about that for a while now.
