The first supplment released for the 20th anniversary edition of the game is the V20 Companion. The Companion is designed to dig into those extra questions that experienced V:tM players may have. […]

The Royal Armouries buys vampire-slaying kit
The Royal Armouries is a museum in Leeds, United Kingdom. Last week, the Royal Armouries made the news by spending £7,500 on an 19th century vampire-slaying kit. The £7,500 isn’t a large amount of money for a museum to spend but the purchase itself was interesting. The 19th centuary is rather late on the millenium […]
The Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter mural
It was back in May when Geek Native covered news of a fresh blood art competition to support the Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter movie. It was a chance for your design to become a real thing and to spend the day with street art experts End of the Line. This is what the agency published […]
A review of The Bloody Red Baron
The Bloody Red Baron is the sequel to Kim Newman’s Anno Dracula. It is set in 1918 and Graf von Dracula has surfaced as the commander-in-chief of the combined military might of Germany and Austria-Hungary. There are some familiar faces in The Bloody Red Baron. There is Charles Beauregard, from Anno Dracula, but this hero […]
Abe Lincoln spilling fresh blood in Shoreditch
I’ve read the Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter book and its surprisingly good. Don’t get me wrong – it’s not a Game of Thrones. It is a book with a great mashup of a plot, even for Brit like myself, and the simple premise works well to keep the book “page candy”. It’s an easy, no […]
The ABC of movie monsters
Coming up next is a short animation from the French La Pompadour. It features every letter of the alphabet as a very brief animation that suggests a movie monster. Can you name them all? Some bad language.
Jonathan Ross’ Turf review
Jonathan Ross may be best known for his voice talent on Fable 3. He worked alongside Stephen Fry and, oh, what… wait? Ah! Okay. I’m told Mr Ross is actually best known for being a mega-famous UK personality. You can tell he’s a heavy hitter because Mark Millar himself provides the intro to the graphic […]
Cherie Priest interview – getting our teeth into Bloodshot
Cherie Priest already has nine novels to her name and is perhaps best known for the steampunk adventures; Boneshaker, Dreadnough and Clementine. Bloodshot is the first of a new urban fantasy trilogy that features man of mystery and international thief known to authorities as Cheshire Red. The catch? Chesire Red isn’t a man. She’s not […]
Anno Dracula review
I first read Anno Dracula years ago. I can’t remember when; it feels like many life-times ago, it may have been back in the 15th century or perhaps around 1992 when the book first came out. Titan Books have brought Kim Newman’s head-of-its-time novel back and it is a clever decision. Mashups are all the […]
Kim Newman interview: Anno Dracula and more
Kim Newman is a London born horror writer, winner of the Bram Stoker Award, who has also written Warhammer novels under the name Jack Yeovil. One of Kim’s most famous books, Anno Dracula, has been re-released by Titan Books which gives this blog the cheeky chance to pester Mr Newman with a quick Q&A style […]
