Vampires Ruined My Life

Good evening, Darklings. Welcome back to another meeting of our Vampire Book Club. Tonight, we discuss the 1982 novel Fevre Dream by George R.R. Martin, about a mysterious benefactor who commissions a steamboat from a struggling steamboat captain to traverse the river for his strange own purposes. Meanwhile, in New Orleans, an evil vampire with a horde of vampire cohorts lurks at a plantation home, killing indiscriminately. Join us for a breakdown and discussion of this vampire novel! Also, this is our last episode of Season 1. Please subscribe, rate, and review on your favorite podcast app so you know when we return, or follow us on social media for updates. And if you want to suggest books, movies, tv shows, or topics for episodes to us, you can reach out to us on Twitter or Instagram anytime! We will return with Season 2 before too many suns have set.

Good evening, dark ones and those who join us in the dark. This evening, we're discussing vampire slayers and hunters. As long as there have been stories about monsters, there have been stories about heroes who fight those monsters. Vampires are no exception. Most of us here are fanged fiends who are unapologetically #TeamVampire, but even we must admit sometimes vampires go too far and must be stopped. So join us as we discuss some favorite and notable vampire hunters and slayers and why we can appreciate them.

Hello, Dark Ones and Daywalkers! Tonight, we discuss the 1998 cinematic masterpiece, BLADE, about a half-vampire (or dhampir) who hunts vampires with the help of an old mentor and a hematologist. Chael had never seen Blade, so this was her first watch, while Tori saw it when it came out and probably a few times since. We discuss the making of the movie and the cast of characters, as well as the vampire tropes in Blade and how those same tropes appear in other vampire media.

Hello, darklings! In this edition of our Vampire Book Club, Chael and Tori discuss and review the classic literary work Vampire Breath, a Goosebumps book, by RL Stine. Chael is a big collector of kid lit who believes baby bats deserve good vampire reads. But does this one hold up? And what is “vampire breath” anyway? Tori and Chael discuss the book, plus their own childhood reading habits, and the fact that they both spent their childhoods in search of the paranormal...

Vampires… pale, undead, alluring? In our first episode, your dark hostesses discuss how they became entranced with the vampire, and why they believe others may find these creatures appealing. What draws people to creatures of the night? Why do we find them so fascinating and even, perhaps, want to join the undead ranks?
