LOST

The October issues of Lost (a fantastic online magazine) has a long excerpt from The Dead Travel Fast that isn't available elsewhere online. It's a great excuse to check out Lost, which describes itself as a literary mag with a singular mission: "to reclaim in writing lost people, places, and things." (Full disclosure: one of Lost's editors is Peter Joseph, the boy genius who edited The Dead Travel Fast.

Snippet from the excerpt:

"There are two pieces of jewelry associated with Bela Lugosi's portrayal of Count Dracula in the iconic 1931 film Dracula. A silver medallion and a large signet ring. In the movie, Lugosi is often seen walking with his bent arms extended slightly in front of him, as if the ring was leading the way. The medallion is currently buried six feet under with Lugosi. The ring is nested in the box in my hands."
