i understand why vampires traditionally look dead but for my own purposes i’ve always preferred the opposite. they look too alive, as though every part of them is trying to convince you that they’re human. that they can be trusted. their cheeks are flushed like a painted doll’s, almost unnerving. all the saturation turned up, creating richer dark tones and brighter lights. their eyes look glossy, teary, emotional but glass-like. their appearances compensate for what they don’t have and as a result they’re just curious enough to intrigue you, like an uncanny painting whose eyes follow you as you walk through the museum, persuading you to return once more before you go just to ponder, when in reality they’re like a frog in the rainforest, poison but incredibly beautiful.

This one is called “The Unseen”.

It’s an old comic from The Secret Knots archives, only now I gave it a tumblr-friendlier format and fixed a couple of little things here and there. I made it in a sad time, a story I told myself to make me feel better and I think it worked.

I still like it. I hope you like it too.

date the shy cryptid of the local park who flees when you try to say hi, and hibernates beneath the trees at the first frost.
