Bite me magazine

I am the editor of Bite me magazine- the magazine for vampire lovers.I have appeared on tv several times talking about those dastardly creatures vampires but am more used to turning down requests than accepting them. Can you blame me?! I am not just interested in things with pointy teeth- I am drawn to most things dark and alluring. That can include haunted castles, ghostly pubs and eerie forests.Bite me magazine web site is at www.bitememagazine.comA visit to the ‘world’s biggest Dracula party’ sparked the idea for Bite me.

The celebration: the centenary of Bram Stoker’s immortal novel Dracula….Over a thousand vampire fans from the US, Brazil, Spain, Romania and Russia united with one solitary Scottish vampire-magazine-Editor–in-the-making for the most fang-tastic event of the century.The Editor mingled with Hammer Horror legend Ingrid ‘Countess Dracula’ Pitt, Scream Queens, the son of Bela Lugosi, the first man to ever spend a night alone in the real Castle Dracula in Romania. Oh, and a psychic vampire or two….Alas, the party had to end. Four days later, the Editor was back in the vampire-barren territory of Central Scotland. But there was something different this time. She was on a mission. Pure and simple, she felt the ‘calling’ to produce a publication that would unite fans from all around the world. Fans with one thing in common- a love of Dracula and well other things spooky and weird!From an initial plan to produce a photocopied fanzine, ‘Project Vampire’ kept growing fangs as I decided I wanted glossy pages, shiny colour ones, some more gloss. I had zero experience of producing a magazine and undertook a self-taught crash course in publishing, alone at night in my attic...Issue 18 available now. Cover model JANE GOLDMAN interviewed.
