I have an extremely active dream life, but hardly anything I dream ever turns up in one of my stories. The five-page story “Nobody Believes in Vampires Anymore” is one of the rare exceptions.
The central image of this tale—a man walking with a skeleton over his shoulders, a skeleton from which he has just pulled a stake because he doesn’t believe it could really be a vampire—came directly from a dream.
And ended up in a story drawn by George Ruppert and Text Blaisdell.
