For this class I have 3 favorite stories that I like due to the nature of
their storytelling, the content or due to the overall theme.
1.) The Vampire Lexicon – It is a series of
short stories that wrap you up in the middle right from the get-go. It’s a 3-part
series that ties together a love-torn vampire, a wolf girl and a stolen girl
(indentured servant to the vampires). The author explains that the storyline is
similar to the myth "The Vampire and the Soldier", which includes
this idea of blood magic. You'll have to read the work to truly get a sense of
this trifecta of vampires, werewolves and the stolen.
Here is a
link to the website (if you dare, muahahahaha *cough cough*):
2.)
LSD in
a Yellow Submarine – you already feel hooked and curious don’t you? It’s okay
to lie. This preface to a 2-part story sucks you in with the smooth melody of
words that come from the authors fingertips. The tale brings you in on
this drug-induced experience experience that revolves around this involvement
with the Beatles in England. The story comes from the Persian Tale: A
Hemp-Smoker’s Dream. It is worth the read hands and smoker’s pipe down!
“A lot of people’s crazy
stories nowadays begin with getting drunk, but back in my day, we were imbibing
things we couldn’t even spell: LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide, just so we’re
clear), psychedelic mushrooms, and MDA (3,4-Methylenedioxyamphetamine, that
is), just to name a few.”
3.)
Mermaids Only Dot Com – For anyone who has seen
the commercials, this is a spoof of a dating website for farmer’s only. It is
an interesting twist of a website that allows you to crack a smile at the small
details of the mermaids’ bios. There are 2 mermaids, Serena and Loreli. Each of
them come from a mythological tale and story. The background descriptions of
the mermaids come from their stories, which enticed me to look more into the
actually myths of these creatures.
