Substack that emails you the entirety of Bram Stoker’s Dracula in real time. since the novel is composed of diary entries, it sends you the diary entries day by day so you can read it on the same timeline in which it takes place. it started earlier this month but it’s not too late to catch up!! or you could wait until next may. classics can be intimidating but this gives you the opportunity to read it in daily segments in your email and follow along in an immersive way :)

Bram Stoker’s Dracula in newsletter format, each journal entry is sent to your inbox on the same dates Jonathan Harker wrote them. I’ve only learned about it half way through the whole thing last year so I’m trying again and it’s been super fun to read the book like that. They started on May 3rd so there’s still time to catch up!

Current personal blog is linked. Updated monthly, at minimum, with a media roundup. Occasionally, some flash fiction gets posted or some photography. You can keep up with it the old fashioned way by visiting directly periodically. Or you could get an RSS reader and subscribe to the feed (also works on substack feeds). Or you can get it as a poorly formatted newsletter. But you can’t get it on substack!

study the folklore and myth of your actual local region. live your daily life under the logic of fairytales. communicate as heavily as possible in proverbs and riddles. humans are a storytelling creature and there is a reason these archetypes and motifs appear to humans across times/cultures/places

lots of great recs here, but if you want horror that is more based in storytelling and has a bit more on its mind than just slashers or gore you should check out folk horror or older horror films from the 60s/70s. as others have recommended, The Wicker Man (1973) is a must. Rosemary’s Baby (1968) is also a classic. The VVitch (2015) is also fantastic as an intro to more conceptual horror. you said you wanted deeper cuts, so check out Viy (1967) or Alucarda (1977), both of which i’ve posted more detailed recs for on my profile. also!!!! i don’t know how you feel about silent/b&w films but Nosferatu (1922) is an all-time genre mainstay that still holds up. Ari Aster’s work is great but it’s probably more gruesome than you’re looking for. have fun!!!
