Highest Doras Award - 4 Shamrocks.

Dear Vampire is the personal website of vampire Freake of New York and vampire Kildare in Dublin, two immortals that post regular letters on their life and times, or should it be death and eternity. Whichever, the site leads one through a spooky array of pages which are accompanied with plenty of blood dripping images. Apart from the messages of the un-dead the site allows individuals interested in things of the night to converse on the linked chatroom and access vampire-related sites.

The site has a very rich design with a heavy emphasis on animated imagery. Navigation through the site is easy as soon as you realise that you are entering a house-like structure of parlours reading and ranting rooms. The many moving graphics make page downloading irregular and often delayed. Nonetheless, it is a truly interesting site, worthy of a visit.
 
 

WEB SITE OF THE DAY - DEARVAMPIRE.COM - September 4th 2001
http://www.dearvampire.com

This freaky site is a collection of fictional letters written by the last two Vampires on Earth, Casper Freake in New York and Mordi Kildare in Dublin. Frankly, the Vampire theme is a bit overdone and every vampire enthusiast, including the authors of this site, have their own spin on what the undead are all about. Yet even the most cynical readers would be forced to admit that a great deal of work has gone into the site and the content is fabulous. The writing is superb and creative even if the theme is overdone. There is no question that the site's authors will move on to bigger and better projects in their lives (or their after lives) and this site is a chance to catch them before Hollywood does.
 
 

WEBSITE OF THE MONTH - DEARVAMPIRE.COM - July 2001
http://www.dearvampire.com/ (Dear Vampire)

Make sure you turn up your speakers before entering this site. It just might have the scariest voice I've ever heard on a website. Forget the Blair Witch Project... this is actually a pretty weird situation. The site is about two vampires, one in New York and the other in Dublin, and the letters they write to each other.
