Vampires vs. Nukes

Vampires vs. Nukes #theMatriarchVampires

I’m sure someone has put this into their post-apocalyptic young adult series by now, but I have to wonder with everything going on in the world: How would Vampires fare in a nuclear holocaust? Vampires aren’t going to survive a nuclear attack if any of us were at ground zero. Total destruction is total destruction; we’re not Wolverine or Deadpool. All the stories I can find are neo-Vampire…

Meet Tlaloc, Our "Metal" God

Meet Tlaloc, Our "Metal" God #theMatriarchVampires

Visitors to Cedarcrest Sanctum often notice (but don’t always ask about) the metallic tiles with the weird face. Big eyes, fangs, and looking a bit South-of-the-Border. Our founder Louisa Newcomb had many interests, one regarding Aztec culture, specifically a rain deity bearing more than a few similarities to one of our favorite longevity subjects. She was so enamored with the idea of it, she…

The Lighthouse on the Hill

“On February 19, 1872, the state legislature put their approval on the placement of a Glenville Branch of the West Virginia Normal School. The only problem was that there would be no funding available for this. That year, the State Constitutional Convention declared that no appropriations were to be made for the establishment of any more normal schools or branches in West Virginia. “The next…

Be a Superb Owl Super Host - Vampire Verisimilitude

It’s that time: to see whose owl will be crowned superb this year! This is your annual reminder that, even if you don’t have a favorite owl — maybe you prefer ravens, eagles, or even cardinals — not to post all over social media how much you “despise owls.” It’s cool to let others enjoy things. If you’ve been invited by like-minded enthusiasts to gather around the television to root for your…

Undead @ The Empty Glass - Daughters of Darkness

Undead @ The Empty Glass - Daughters of Darkness #theMatriarchVampires

For the uninitiated: “Daughters of Darkness” is a conversation between my neophyte self and a centuries-old immortal discussing (what else?) living forever on blood in the dark. Nancy hates that I keep doing this, yet she keeps agreeing to it… go figure. Nancy: What forsaken place have you dragged me to this time? Janiss: It’s called “The Empty Glass…” N: As it says on the front. I can read,…

Lady Bat in Her Belfry

Lady Bat in Her Belfry #theMatriarchVampires

The day length for December 21st, 2020 was 9 hours, 26 minutes. That also made it the longest night of the year… perfect for Vampires. Happy Winter Solstice. I spent it on the rooftop of Cedarcrest Sanctum in my “lunarium” where I keep my telescopes. Cole refers to it as my belfry; he even hanging a little bell up to make it official. I was trying to watch the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and…

Pandemic Tips Illustrated

Anyone noticing my signature image caricature is already familiar with the work of Danny Fry. Since Cedarcrest Sanctum has been on COVID-19 lock-down since March 2020 and occupying most of my time being a creative administrator, I thought it might be fun to have Mr. Fry illustrate a series of PSAs for Humans and Vampiresalike, featuring Danny’s unique take on my supernatural likeness (in my…

Three Takeaways of the 2020 Quarantine

To all of Cedarcrest: good day.

Janiss here.

On Tuesday, March 10th, 2020, our facility closed its gates in an effort to protect our residents and staff.

Some of our staffers have family… family we can’t maintain on-site. On a voluntary basis (and in some cases with applicable compensation), most have chosen to stay with us while a few on the outside continue to support us. This is fine for…

COVID-19 and Program Update

To all of Cedarcrest: good evening.

Janiss here.

As prior bulletins were distrubuted door-to-door in addition to being reposted in high-traffic areas, a few of you continue ask basic questions we’ve already answered. Going forward, check your email… yes, including you, Mr. Johnson.

With regards to all the conspiracy theories going around, here’s what the world outside of Cedarcrest knows…

The Longest Night of the Year -- Vampire Verisimilitude

The Longest Night of the Year — Vampire Verisimilitude

Happy Winter Solstice to all! That was yesterday technically — last night for me — but I prefer to think my heart is still in the right place.

This post is going to sound cryptic, so fair warning.

Thing have changed. No, I can’t go into details about it, and yes, it has something to do with our last evacuation drill.

On a sad note, we lost one of our own. On a positive note, others are now safe,…

Happy Birthday, My Friend Happy birthday, Janiss. You'll always be with us.

Thirty is the New Eternity

Thirty is the new twenty. Forty is the new thirty. Apparently, fifty is back to being thirty again.

I still try to smile at the idea that a Guy Fawkes mask reminds me of my own birthday.

Thanks, mom and dad.

I said no parties for me this year and I meant it. Too much going on. My plate is full.

Our facility drill is this Friday, November 9th; details to follow.

We’ll be busing down the few who…

Early to Rise and Early to Vote -- Vampire Verisimilitude

Early to Rise and Early to Vote — Vampire Verisimilitude

I wasn’t waiting to vote this year. I want it counted now. I want to push the damn buttons, not fill out a form.

Just a bit of a problem…

The early voting place in Glenville, West Virginia is the county courthouse on Howard Street. Their hours are 8am to 4 pm on Wednesdays, the first day of early voting.

Aaaaaaaaaand sunset is 6:31:57 pm.

This is where making a plan with my guys wins out.

September Thoughts, Election Day, and Facility Update

Yes, I took the summer off from regular updates… my apologies. It’s time to get back to it!

As all of you know since our little send-off party last month, our own Timothy has been working with our friend Nancy — no, that wasn’t a typo — on his special project. I spoke to him over the weekend, and he wants everyone to know he’s doing fine. Nancy sends her best, too.

Denton has also been in school…

A Psycho-Sexual Fetish-Driven Delusional Person

So someone asked this question:

Who would need a psycho-sexual fetish-driven delusional person who believes they are a vampire?

I think this was in response to something I shared about “If you need me, I’ll be in my sarcophagus,” an obvious riff on the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” Beep-Me meme.

And yet, an individual immediately launched into the notion that anyone saying such a thing came…

Fang-Girling

fang-girl /ˈfaNG-ɡərl/ informal verb gerund or present participle: fang-girling (of a vampire female fan) behave in an obsessive or overexcited way. “I’m still fang-girling over this Dracula casting!” I’m going to admit to you that Vampires have crushes like anyone else. Have you seen movies and television? As stupid as it sounds, I think we all watch those Vampire shows; we’re not above stealing…
