When vampires walk

I’ve been reading ‘Dracula’ by Bram Stoker, where it’s noted that April 22  (the eve of  St George’s Day) is the most lively night of the year for vampires. This, I did not know – but it seems Bram had it right. See: Beware St George’s Eve!  

Staffordshire is not blessed (if that’s the right word, er-hem) with vampires, so I chose this little chap – a gargoyle off St Anne’s Church at Brown Edge – to mark the occasion, even though he does more resemble a werewolf (!). He’s pretty scary.
