Unbox MY own book with me: Mother Mort's Carnival of Souls!
I am so excited to show you guys a project I had the honour of working on with the incredibly talented artist Matt Hughes of Ethereal Visions Publishing. We created the characters together, I wrote a horror novella featuring them all and Matt brought the characters to life as a deck of working Oracle Cards.
Here's the blurb:
One night, every few years, a mysterious carnival rolls into town. The age-worn tents unfurl under a blood moon and beacon people to the wonders it holds. Those who flock there find delight, wonder, terror, or death. It all depends on the ticket you possess...Roll Up! Roll Up! Come one, Come all to Mother Mort's Carnival! See sights that will baffle the mind and stretch the imagination!Watch death-defying feats and flirt with danger! A Carnival so good, you'll never leave. Follow young Jane as she discovers the carnival isn't quite like it seems.Will she leave and return to her miserable life, which will, most likely, be cut short by a greedy, evil man, or will she find a family she so desperately longs for?Discover the answer in Mother Mort's Carnival of Souls - the book is Jane's story, and the cards are yours! What fate will be revealed? Short story which accompanies a deck of 32 oracle cards.

I have to apologise to the very talented Eduard Zatriqi who composed my stunning theme music. I have no idea how to blend the sound so it just cuts off but please listen to the end to hear the whole thing!

    It should be called Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula. Yes, it's the second closest adaptation in terms of faithfulness, but it also has an equal amount of big changes. I love most of the adaptations and the original book. There's always going to be changes and I hope a future adaptation of the book will remain relatively faithful while also having unique take besides a Dracula & Mina or Lucy. 😀

    To be honest, that movie was VERY faithful to the book, including keeping the setting (late 1950’s-early 1960’s). All of the cast gave great performances.

    • @ravenvane2227
      @ravenvane2227 5 місяців тому

      One major difference I didn’t care for was how Merricat was portrayed. In the book she was bolder and had psychopathic tendencies. In the movie she was a lot more timid and good natured. The ending in the movie feels like she was just protecting her sister but in the book she seems like a surprise villain who you regret cheering for.

  • @Nemo-j6z

    I liked the 1977 version with actor Louis Jordan as Dracula. This adaptation, despite its low budget and limited effects, is a good film. The film offers us a charming Count Dracula, who beneath his politeness, is a threat. The sarcasm and cynicism of the character played by Louis Jordan made him the best Dracula. The film avoids many romantic daydreams and shows a manipulative and threatening Dracula. He would be like the sirens who lure sailors with their beautiful song straight to their death. He may be handsome and seductive, but he is dangerous. It's his charm that makes him attractive that makes him so deadly. The film doesn't have the nonsense of showing that the heroine with the power of love will change the antagonist and the power of love regenerates. Dracula is the one who manipulates and he remains the same villain until the end. The merits of the 1992 film are aesthetic. They try to offer a kind of Greek tragedy, in which Dracula is a tragic hero. But he's just a murderous psychopath who sought the path of evil. Dracula may be a bit of Jeckyll and Hyde, he has a good side towards Mina and a perverse side towards the rest of humanity, this good side for Mina does not negate the fact that he is the villain. His evils make him impossible to redeem. The character, with his romantic tone, who crosses oceans to find an ordinary girl, seems more like the public's desire to find someone who can take him away from his ordinary, boring life. And he has people who go down that path and end up being manipulated by dangerous people. The author of the book doesn't want to go on romantic outbursts, he and his wife are middle class people who had to work hard to have a dignified life. They are more rational and realistic. And that is Mina and Jonathan's type of relationship. This was the prototype for the protagonists’ wedding.

    I enjoyed the book and the original black and white film over the Netflix series. Netflix relied too much on cheap jumpscares and totally removed the best element and shoehorned the people as a family. Even the 90's movie seemed more in tune with the original book and that was one of the worst adaptations,lol. I will say this for the Netflix movies, at least they had the same names as the original characters,lol.

    Awesome Wrap Up! Your bookshelf background is gorgeous. The Mad Women's Ball sounds very interesting and I love the cover.

I really need to give Grady Hendrix a try.
