Hi friends! Lee here. I'm just dropping in to let you know that I'm going to be extending the season hiatus a little bit longer, as my mental health hasn't been great the last few weeks. Me, like so many of you, suffer from anxiety and I have just not been feeling too well. So we will return soon, I just need a little bit more time to fortify my mental fortresses. Thanks for your patience guys, and I'll be seeing you soon. Bye!

Good morning friends! We have reached the end of season 1 - and we are going out with a blood soaked, black cloaked bang, exploring tales of Slavic vampires. We explode into a cloud of bats on the Croatian island of Lastovo, and drink only the finest AB+ from antique crystal as we sit back to hear about the vampires of Drawno in Poland.

I hope you enjoy!
