Isobel @belleroach.bsky.social · 30/09/2026DRACULA x THE SECRET HISTORY 1895. When a young man is drawn into the decadent world of a drinking society, The Hellenists, he soon witnesses something he cannot unsee: the sacrificial killing of a boy. The Hellenists have a taste for human blood. And he might be next. #DVPit #A #H #F #HF #LGBT 100
