No city should be too large for a man to walk out of in a morning.

Let me take you a small "trip" around my city...

The Loggoy Mansion -- (Μέγαρο Λόγγου) or else  The Red House 

- (Κόκκινο Σπίτι) was built and completed in 1928

 by a wealthy textiles merchant from Naoussa called John Loggos. 

But who doesn't love one good urban legend?! 

Especially when it's about a building in the city they live.

The company that built it, bankrupt shortly after it's completion (1931). 

The owner's industrial unit in Naoussa was destroyed by fire. 

Those events brought this mysterious veil upon the building. Some say that it is "occupied" 

by vampires. Some say it's haunted due to the many suicides that occurred inside. 

It's current owner, a eccentric old lady. Is not occupied nowadays and for about 30 years is empty. 

At least it is not occupied by human beings...

Is a protected as a “heritage building” in 2006 as it’s unique red bricks 

and ceramic detailing on the outside make it different from 

the rest of the preserved buildings in Thessaloniki. 

Some weeks back i found myself walking around the city,
after some things i had to do, exhausted from the heat, i slipped into one of my favourite book stores.
 A big basement book store with the proper temperature which gave me the benefit
to look around in peace. Of course without realizing it, i ended up with many books in my hands.
The saddest part? Trying to decide what to buy and what to leave behind.

I bought four books and here i will show you only the two 

( because i want to read them first!! ) The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde 

novella was in my list for so long, a classic book, filled with horror, 

drama and the amount of fantasy we all love. 

To my surprise look people what i found. It is known that i have a special place to my heart
for vampires - before of course the whole sparkling thing - those fantastic creatures always
fascinated me and it would be a shame to leave this book back.
Count Dracula on screen by Dimitris Koliodimos. Black, red and white,
colours extremely suitable for the books theme. 

Having my ice tea, i browsed it's pages feeling so happy that i got it.
They are all in there, in 330 pages, the vampires we saw over the years in TV and loved,
the history, many pictures to admire, things i knew and so many new info. It has those
 little black bats on the pages, when you browse them, it seems they fly!!!

During May i watched this live-action Japanese television drama called 

Mei-chan no Shitsuji (メイちゃんの執事?, "Mei-chan's Butler") 

and i forgot to mention it here. Well, it is really weird as a show, 

because it came out of a manga series ( of course ) but i liked it. A lot.
