Victoria Van Helsing - a 18th Century Buffy the vampire slayer played by Cariad Lloyd (2011 Best Newcomer nominee at the Fosters Edinburgh Comedy Awards) - has returned to the city of her forebears to destroy the dreadful Grafin Von Schwartzbergen, a centuries-old vampire who seeks to turn Scotland's Capital into a city of dreadful night...working on the assumption that no one would really notice. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11489#post-130451 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 12:58:14 +0000 chdot 130451@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/capital-most-gothic-city-outside-transylvania-1-3162716" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/capital-most-gothic-city-outside-transylvania-1-3162716</a> </p>
