Regards In Pages - A Note From The Editor

Hello there, fellow creatures of the night. I hope you will enjoy this edition of The Chronicles. We have lots of articles for you that come in bite size pieces. There is a preview to Vampyria to wet your appetite for the event to come, a response of what it is like to be Goth (replying to the previous article: "Gothic" and "Goth" defined, by Mick Smith) and a competition to win a book on Countess Bathory. As debates seem to amuse and provoke emotions in most people, we have two versions of Whitby for you to peruse at your leisure and decide who is right, or wrong as the case may be. If you have any views on a subject or an event you have attended, send them to me at the address on the back page. My crypt door is always open to interesting articles.
