1897 was a good year for vampires, with Bram Stoker's #Dracula unleashed on an unsuspecting public. The iconic first edition is simple, yet striking – did you know that the colour yellow was synonymous with the more adventurous and transgressive elements of the Victorian fin de siècle? Here it is the colour of bruising and decay. #WorldDraculaDay 🦇 📚 Cup.410.f.718.
An image of the front cover of the first edition of Dracula. It is a bold yellow, with red lettering reading: Dracula by Bram Stoker.

.@eynsham1 Do you think @robertcourts voted for fracking because (a) he wants to frack West Oxfordshire or (b) he hopes for a job from Miguel Verde (aka the Home Secretary)

Without Conservative government/austerity: top(ish) of the pack. With Conservative government/austerity: bottom of the pack. The Conservatives can't be trusted with the economy. They erode our incomes and erode our wealth. Vote out the Conservatives, get richer.
