B for me
CROCS BITE BACK! the visual elements of a collaboration with my cohort partner, julia, that encouraged others to do away with strict dress codes in nightlife spaces & embrace the pull towards any club scene's partying in the comfort of crocs.
which speaks most to YOU?
is it the caption? design? both?
BRIEF: Crocs are allowed almost everywhere. Beach? Garden? Hungover trip to Walmart? You bet. But when it comes to the world’s FANCIEST nightclubs, Crocs are still treated as criminal to the world of fashion. Some venues refuse entry to anyone wearing them. Others hide behind vague phrasing in their dress codes: “Smart shoes only.” / “Dress to impress.” So ... six inch heels and stiff leather shoes are the only ins? Crocs thinks this isn't quite right. & Crocs is ready to fight back.

VAN HELSING: The Shadows of Prague — First Edition
Prague, November 1898. Midnight.
A letter smeared with ash pulls Van Helsing from London to a city that breathes secrets. A sealed church. A family crypt that has held his bloodline prisoner for 800 years. And a monster that does not eat flesh — it eats memory.
Summoned by a dying bishop, the legendary hunter descends beneath Prague into the Ruined Cathedral, where the Ashen Order guards a black sarcophagus that should never be opened.
Inside is Konrad — the first Van Helsing. The jailer who became the jail.
To break the curse, Van Helsing must do what no Van Helsing has done before: not pay with blood and sorrow, but with joy freely given. A garden in Vienna. A white rose. A memory of happiness.
A gothic, heart-touching origin story about memory, forgiveness, and why monsters fear shared joy more than crosses.
The Van Helsing Chronicles Reading Order:
The Shadows of Prague (First Edition — this book)
The Blood of Vienna
The Night Hunter of London (Third Edition)
Perfect for fans of Bram Stoker, gothic horror, historical mystery, and dark fantasy with heart.
