Nyx's Lighthouse

A lighthouse that belongs to a Goddess of the night? Seems a bit contradictory, but then so am I and this is where I put things that are slightly dark, Goth, and/or Steampunk related, slightly weird, and various film and television items I’m fans of.

Why do vampires shift from terrifying to seductive and back again? Let's explore the long history of the vampire’s transformation - from monstrous fiend to gothic heartthrob - and what it says about our fears, desires, and identity.

Happy Birthday, Mary Shelley!

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (born August 30, 1797, London, England—died February 1, 1851, London)

Which contains the story Transformation, in which

"Having frittered away his family’s fortune in Paris, the profligate Guido, driven by his ungovernable passions, is forced out of his native Genoa and harbors plans for revenge. After a mighty storm, he sees a mysterious, misshapen creature approaching from the sea, with whom he makes an infernal bargain to exchange bodies, with momentous consequences."

To be a lighthouse, you must be strong enough to resist every kind of storm, to every kind of loneliness and you must have a powerful light inside you!
