My essay about bears will be in the next issue of @deepwildjournal. Looking forward to read the other pieces in this issue.
Eric Aldrich and his friend Axl on a hike encounter a ranger who warns them of a bear frequenting the place. Axl, who is on a side-trip of his own, blurts out, “What‘s the bear’s name?” Which provokes a reflection by the author in upcoming Deep Wild 2022 deepwildjournal.com/

Today is #WorldDraculaDay because Bram Stoker's classic novel was first published on this day in 1897. It's also the day we remind you that if the author hadn't come across the name Dracula while researching in a LIBRARY the main character was going to be called Count Wampyr.
