5/24/2023 0 Comments The fell of dark by caleb roehrig![]() It sort of fell like, at points, a Dungeons and Dragons campaign but where the players rotate who is the Dungeon Master. This story involves vampires, four separate cults (two vampire, one human, and one witches/warlocks), element based magic, the apocalypse, possession, historical jumps, and the fallen angel Azazel. ![]() However, sometimes, too much is just that…too much. So, there is ton of interesting things going on in this story. Yes, as in “Ra ra Rasputin/ Russia’s greatest love machine/ It was a shame how he carried on” Rasputin. Hell, the big bad guy is Grigori Rasputin. For example, featuring plenty of historical figures in the history of vampires narrative was quite cool. ![]() Caleb Roehrig does quite a bit to make the story interesting at first. When a story is dealing with something like the apocalypse, you’d hope the tension and excitement would ramp up. This story really struggled, for me, to get out of first gear. The narrative was both poking fun at the cliches as well as playing with them. Caleb Roehrig was acknowledging several vampire romance and vampire story tropes. ![]() At the beginning I could not have been more excited for this story. Augustus Pfieffer has a lesbian Latinx best friend who has an Asian-American girlfriend. Like if Bella Swan was a gay lad and torn between a gay vampire and a pansexual vampire. ![]()
