I am currently reading “The Case of the Murderous Dr Cream: the hunt for a Victorian serial killer.” Indeed, the story takes place before Jack the Ripper, however, both serial killers will be in the news for 1888. Yet, I have no idea what were the motives of Dr Cream, except for what the book has mentioned regarding the resemblance of “Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson.” A decent human being can have layers of darkness that comes out by night. A decent human can be a sinner and a murderer if they let their inner demon prevail.

“𝕴 𝖜𝖆𝖓𝖙 𝖞𝖔𝖚 𝖙𝖔 𝖇𝖊𝖑𝖎𝖊𝖛𝖊... 𝖙𝖔 𝖇𝖊𝖑𝖎𝖊𝖛𝖊 𝖎𝖓 𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖓𝖌𝖘 𝖙𝖍𝖆𝖙 𝖞𝖔𝖚 𝖈𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖙.” - Bram Stoker 🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️ Before summer began, we headed into the night to catch a glimpse of Nosferatu. Projected upon the night sky in an old, walled garden, the scenes broke silence with the live accompaniment of two experimental musicians. As the tale was told I realised that I had, in fact, never watched F. W. Murnau's 1922 masterpiece in its entirety, though I have seen and studied key scenes on various occasions. Most memorably as a child: the sliding, stair-climbing shadow scene with my father. I may well have joined him in watching the whole thing then, but only that scene remained in mind. 🩸 Now in the depths of summer - which, for me as an educator, equals holidays - I have been reflecting upon my Generally Gothic endeavours. I have no short supply of things to share and open up for discussion... Granted, time is sometimes scarce, but I have been simultaneously busier irl and more active here in the past. Why then, I wondered, have I been so absent? I thought that breaking away from my monthly themes would allow me freedom to post more frequently. I now believe the opposite - that the great, unfettered world of open opportunities stunned me into inactivity... The posting equivalent of a defence nap (when you're so overwhelmed by a task you suddenly... just 🥱... couldn't possibly even...😴). 🩸 Like Nosferatu, I am here to break my scattered silence. I have taken to stories to ask what you would like to see more of over here, but I can firmly say that I will be loosely sticking to my monthly themes 😏... as I was before I dropped off the grid. I would love to hear what you enjoy seeing here (stories/DM); "I want you to believe" that I will return to sharing my musings with you again! . #Nosferatu #outdoorcinema #walledgarden #generallygothic #gothic #horror #horrorfilm #horrormovie #classiccinema #murnau #blackandwhite #bookstagram #blogger #darkacademia #gothicacademic #spookynerd #spookysummer (at Orava Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChcAAMALN_y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
