Jonathan Harker Diary
I bid you welcome. Here is a collection of my archived writings set out before you and collectively referred to as the Jonathan Harker Diaries. The Jonathan Harker Diary is a collection of short stories, ghost tales and day to day experiences. Of course nothing is what it seems here in the ghostly world of Jonathan Harker, but amongst the strange and bizarre there are lighter moments which I shall write and share and sincerely hope you enjoy.

The Rose
Apparently to protect from the unwelcome attentions of vampyres the rose bush cannot be underestimated. It seems that roses are particularly a favourite for armoury.
