Happy Birthday to TMtV

Today marks the 20th anniversary of Taliesin Meets the Vampires. Twenty years of bringing you the best and worst of the vampire genre and it has been a strange old trip thus far. Along the way I have made many friends, drawn together over a love of the most toothsome of monsters.

I have asked a select few if they would be so kind as to provide a guest blog and, for the next couple of weeks, I’m going to hand the blog over to them. The brief was really quite simple, write a blog concerning vampires – I wanted them to have full artistic freedom to explore any part of the genre that took their fancy. Please show them some love in the comments, and some debate – if you are taken by what they have to say or disagree. Remember, comment moderation is on so give me time to release any comment.

If you are a regular visitor, commentator or correspondent then I want to thank you. It is you all who make this worthwhile. From humble beginnings I regularly get 5K of page views per day as a minimum but that can peak, and the highest daily views in the last 6-months was 127,974 views in a day, which is phenomenal, notwithstanding the potential of bot traffic. If you are someone close to the blog and I haven’t asked for a guest blog for this little celebration, please forgive me. I went for a range of folks some of whom I have known through the genre but before TMtV, some who I met through the blog itself and some of whom I have worked on side projects with before now. I am sure I have missed some excellent comrades in undeath.
