vampires and werewolves and witches, oh my

tortured souls drinking blood, casting spells, howling at the moon, then yearning and craving for something more. equally distressed by and thankful for what they are. detached and mysterious, shrouded in darkness. rumours always swirl around them, close to the truth if not it, but people are still drawn in. intricately designed houses, overly decorated despite rarely having guests. beautiful in a way that borders on terrifying, unnatural. nails like claws, blood red wine, inky black skies.
