Podcasts about Stoker

On this episode, Elyse Rogers of Dance Hall Crashers joins Chris to talk about the writing and recording of the band's 1997 fan favorite single, “Lost Again.” Elyse reflects on the group's collaborative dynamic, the comfort and shared vision she found working with producer Stoker, and how the song's lyrics touch on personal and industry struggles faced by artists trying to stay true to themselves. The conversation dives into the technical side of recording, including the band's use of tape to achieve their signature sound, and highlights how each member played a vital role in shaping the track. With candid reflections on the emotional toll of promotion, the joy of live shows, and the importance of mentorship, this episode shines a light on a band that's always put fun and authenticity first—and continues to influence the world of ska punk today.

Okay so *wait a second*—*Nosferatu* is *back* again? This time in 2024? Look, I've been trying to follow this for like fifteen years now, and I'm still not sure how we got here. First there was *Dracula*, right? Bram Stoker writes that, full of bats and aristocratic bloodsucking and all that. Then Germany goes rogue in the 1920s and makes *Nosferatu*, but it's not called *Dracula*, even though it's *clearly* Dracula, because they didn't *ask permission*. So they change the names and hope nobody notices. Spoiler: the Stoker estate noticed. *Hard.* Lawsuits happen. Copies get burned. And yet somehow Nosferatu survives… because that's what Nosferatu does.*Now*, in 2024, there's a new *Nosferatu*—directed by Robert Eggers, no less—and Clay and Amanda are here on *The Rotten Horror Picture Show* podcast to dig into all the shadowy nooks and eerie crannies of this beautifully gothic reimagining. Is it a remake of the illegal remake of *Dracula*? A re-remake of the original that couldn't legally exist? Is that legal now? Is anything? Does copyright even *mean* anything when every monster has at least three origin stories?Clay and Amanda are unafraid to untangle the legal and artistic roots of the most iconic bald vampire in cinematic history. With moody visuals, creeping dread, and Willem Dafoe's legacy breathing down everyone's necks, this new take on *Nosferatu* asks: do we still fear the things we thought we buried? And also: how long before *Nosferatu* joins the MCU?So, if you're someone who enjoys slow-burn horror, public domain loopholes, and podcasts that know the difference between an homage and an infringement, then this episode is for you. Even if copyright law makes your head hurt. Especially if it does.And be sure to hit up patreon.com/thepenskyfile to hear all the coverage of remakes and reboots this year!

Started receding a conversation I was having with one of my good friends. We talk religion, sales, life in general. Hope this helps someone feel like they aren't just in their head going crazy with thoughts that are normal.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 365 - Vampire BridesLet's jump into Bram Stoker's 1897 Gothic novel - Dracula.  Now the character of Count Dracula draws from  draws from historical figures, folklore, and literary innovation, and is widely believed to be inspired by Vlad III Dracula (Vlad the Impaler), a 15th-century Wallachian prince known for his brutal tactics against Ottoman invaders.  The name "Dracula" derives from Vlad II Dracul, Vlad III's father, who belonged to the Order of the Dragon (Dracul meaning "dragon" or "devil" in Romanian).Now Bram Stoker - though we don't have any solid proof of this - likely encountered the name of Vlad the impaler - the 15th century Wallachian prince known for his brutal tactics against Ottoman invaders - in his research for his novel, but there is no proof that Stoker's modeled the Count directly on him. Scholars note Stoker's notes mention neither Vlad nor Transylvanian history in depth. He may have just liked the sound of the name.In fact, Stoker blended vampire folklore with Gothic tropes, possibly inspired by actors Sir Henry Irving (for Dracula's aristocratic demeanor) and Jacques Damala. Many scholars believe he lesbian vampire tale Carmilla (1872) also influenced the novel's tone.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

To access the entire episode, please consider becoming a Tier 1 ‘Gates of Argonath' member, or you can purchase this episode for a one-time fee. My guest this month is Dr. John E. Browning. A professor in the greater Atlanta metropolitan area, John Edgar Browning, Ph.D. has contracted or published 20 academic and popular trade books as well as over 100 shorter works on subjects that cluster around cultural studies, critical media literacy, Dracula, vampires, monstrosity, and horror. Included among his work in film and media studies is his decade-and-a-half-long ethnographic fieldwork with the human or real vampire subculture (a topic in which there are perhaps five scholars worldwide). In addition to academic venues, Browning has published on the real vampire subculture in public forums such as The Atlantic (2015) and Discover Magazine (2015 and 2018), and his unique expertise in this area has helped facilitate several public appearances as a guest scholar on, or service as a consultant for, over two dozen television and streaming networks, professional podcasts, and radio programs, including Discovery channel, National Geographic, Animal Planet, AMC Visionaries: Eli Roth's History of Horror, History channel, Disney+, Netflix, Discover Magazine's “It's Only Science” podcast, Ripley's Believe It or Not, NPR, The Howard Stern Show network, BBC Radio, RTÉ—Ireland's National Television and Radio Broadcaster, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Georgia Public Broadcasting, and SLATE among others. In this interview, John and I discuss his research into the Real Vampire Community. He talks about his motivation to begin looking into this subculture, as well as what he's learned over the years. As this topic somewhat overlaps with my own research into the Otherkin community, I take the opportunity to ‘compare notes' so to speak, and ask questions to gain more clarity on this group. John also discusses to what degree contemporary expressions of the vampire in popular culture have influenced the real vampire community, and how his research has contributed to changing perceptions of this subculture. He talks about his term ‘defiant culture' as it relates to people who have been labeled ‘Other' or ‘deviant' and also mentions how his research has helped forensic professionals that deal with crimes that seem, on the surface, to involve people who label themselves ‘vampires'. We also touch upon the Temple of the Vampire, a group that is viewed as a religious organization, and how this group relates to the larger vampire community in the US. PROGRAM NOTESJohn Edgar Browning - Savannah College of Art and DesignForeword to The Palgrave Handbook of the Vampire (ed.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 363  - Dracula's Guest, Part OneFinally - this podcast is beginning a series of episodes about Bram Stoker's Dracula. First, I am going to delve into - at some detail - what is often felt to be the first chapter of Bram Stoker's Dracula and was first published as "Dracula's Guest” in the short story collection Dracula's Guest and Other Weird Stories (1914). Again, It was believed to have been intended as the first chapter for novel Dracula, but was deleted prior to publication as the original publishers felt it was superfluous to the story.  I will start with some commentary about Dracula's Guest, the first part of the story, and then finish the story - or chapter - or whatever it is - in the following episode.In the preface to the original edition of Dracula's Guest and Other Weird Stories, Stoker's widow Florence wrote, "To his original list of stories in this book, I have added an hitherto unpublished episode from Dracula. It was originally excised owing to the length of the book, and may prove of interest to the many readers of what is considered my husband's most remarkable work."Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror is a 1922 silent German horror film directed by F. W. Murnau and starring Max Schreck as Count Orlok, a vampire. Nosferatu was produced by Prana Film and is an unauthorized and unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula. Various names and other details were changed from the novel, including Count Dracula being renamed Count Orlok. Even with several details altered, Stoker's heirs sued over the adaptation, and a court ruling ordered all copies of the film to be destroyed. However, several prints of Nosferatu survived, and the film came to be regarded as an influential masterpiece of cinema. Today, Karl from When It Was Cool reviews this, very close to the novel, interpretation of Dracula in Nosferatu (1922). Support us on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/wiwcool

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 355 - Why All the Fuss About DraculaEpisode 354 should be a relatively short episode - the subject is Stoker's Dracula - and I want to briefly explore some reasons WHY Dracula is considered a great book. But before I start, I am going to be talking about all kinds of aspects of Dracula - and I know some of them are completely new to you - stick with me, and in several episodes, hopefully all this will make sense.The novel unfolds through journals, letters, and newspaper clippings, immersing readers in the characters' perspectives. This epistolary style builds suspense—readers piece together clues alongside the protagonists, heightening tension. Jonathan Harker's early journal entries, for instance, subtly foreshadow Dracula's menace without explicit exposition.Stoker synthesized Eastern European folklore into a cohesive mythos, defining modern vampire traits: aversion to sunlight, shape-shifting, and vulnerability to stakes and garlic. Unlike later romanticized vampires, Dracula is a chilling aristocrat who embodies Victorian fears of foreign invasion and sexual corruption.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

The episode begins with a host setting the atmosphere for a spine-chilling story, highlighting the cold weather outside and inviting listeners to prepare for a tale titled "Devilstone." This narrative unfolds in Dublin, where the protagonist, Timothy Martin, leads a comfortable life thanks to a substantial inheritance. However, his tranquil existence is disrupted when he inherits an abandoned property in County Fermanagh, known as Devilstone, from a forgotten uncle.Timothy's initial reaction is nonchalant; he considers renting the property out but is met with a skeptical response from his solicitor, Ian Carney. Carney strangely advises against renting it to prospective tenants, raising curiosity and concern. Shortly after, a visitor named Mr. Stoker arrives, furious about having visited Devilstone with his wife. Stoker claims that the house is haunted, which Timothy dismisses as absurd, thinking it's merely an excuse to avoid the rental.Despite Everts, Timothy's loyal manservant, suggesting the hauntings might have a foundation, Timothy is determined to investigate Devilstone for himself. They travel to the estate, encountering an imposing, gloomy mansion that unsettles both of them and their dog, Kim. As they explore the property, strange occurrences and eerie sounds begin to surface, raising the tension.The narrative escalates with Timothy feeling someone's presence, witnessing strange footprints appearing in the mud, and experiencing physical manifestations of terror. Undeterred, he pushes forward, wanting to investigate further despite the creeping fear. However, they soon find themselves trapped in a room as doors mysteriously close, and a chilling voice ominously warns them of impending danger. The ghostly figure of Jason O'Flynn, Timothy's ancestor who had died tragically on the very grounds, appears, confirming that the house is indeed haunted.The suspense builds as Timothy learns about the tragic backstory of Jason O'Flynn, who cursed the place after the demise of his wife. This curse has seemingly trapped his spirit within the house, and the connection to the recent events becomes clear. Timothy resolves to uncover more about the mystery shrouding the estate. The investigation moves forward, but the discoveries lead to a climactic moment when Timothy and Everts uncover a trapdoor concealing the preserved body of Jason O'Flynn himself. This revelation ultimately leads to the lifting of the curse, allowing the ghost to finally rest in peace. The episode closes with a sense of foreboding yet comfort, as the host reflects on the themes of fear and gratitude, urging listeners to find solace in their lives as they drift off to sleep.Overall, the episode is a rich blend of suspense, historical intrigue, and supernatural elements, examining themes of legacy, fear, and confronting the unknown. With careful narrative pacing and intriguing character development, it culminates in a resolved mystery that lingers in the mind of the audience.

In this final installment of our March podcast villain series, we decided to end with a character who has been interpreted in more ways than almost any other: Count Dracula.Meaghan and Arthur dove into this rich, multifaceted figure who has stood the test of time, appearing in literature, theater, film, television, comics, and even ballet. While Dracula is far from the first fictional villain, his enduring presence makes him one of the most iconic.Across generations, the character has been portrayed in so many forms that it almost becomes impossible to count. So we took on the challenge of tracing Dracula's origins, his evolution across media, and our own personal favorites from his cinematic portrayals.The Roots of DraculaWe began by introducing listeners to the original story of Dracula, the novel published in 1897 by Irish author Bram Stoker. The novel is set up in an epistolary format, meaning it's told through letters, journal entries, telegrams, and various documents — a storytelling method that adds a documentary-like authenticity to the supernatural tale.Much of it was written while Stoker stayed in Whitby, England, a location that eventually inspired part of the book's setting. In the story, Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to help a mysterious count named Dracula purchase property in England. Things spiral into horror as Dracula makes his way to London, bringing with him death and chaos.As we discussed, there's a longstanding debate about Dracula's real-life inspiration. The common theory connects him to Vlad the Impaler, a ruthless 15th-century ruler known for his violent methods. There's also speculation around Hungarian countess Elizabeth Bathory, infamous for allegedly bathing in the blood of young girls. However, newer scholarship suggests Stoker might have chosen the name "Dracula" simply because he misunderstood it to mean “devil” in Romanian.We also touched on the thematic weight of Dracula's character - how, especially during the Victorian era, he symbolized temptation, corruption, foreignness, and disease. His ability to lure women into his power and feed on them while they remained semi-willing created a metaphorical blend of sexuality, danger, and the fear of the “other” that resonated with readers of the time.Dracula on the Screen: From Shadows to SoundWe explored how Dracula's story was first visualized in cinema, starting with the silent film Nosferatu (1922), a German adaptation that changed character names to avoid copyright issues.Despite efforts by Stoker's widow to have all copies destroyed, a few prints survived, and the film became a cult classic. Nosferatu laid the groundwork for what would become the Dracula visual standard — looming figures, haunting silhouettes, and unsettling stillness.We then examined the 1931 Dracula film starring Bela Lugosi, the first officially licensed screen adaptation. Lugosi's performance shaped the image of Dracula in popular culture: the accent, the cape, the stare.We learned that Lugosi performed the role phonetically, not speaking English fluently, which added to the eerie stillness of his portrayal. Interestingly, a Spanish-language version was filmed simultaneously using the same sets, which many critics consider to be superior in certain technical aspects.Dracula became the foundation for Universal Studios' “monster movie” identity, alongside Frankenstein, The Mummy, and The Wolfman. These films established a shared aesthetic that would be drawn upon for decades.Waves of Interpretation: Gothic Horror to Sexy VampiresFrom the 1950s through the 1970s, we saw a gothic revival of Dracula through Hammer Horror films, most prominently featuring Christopher Lee. We both appreciated Lee's version — a charismatic, regal Dracula — and talked about how he portrayed the character in seven different Hammer films. In some of those, he even refused to speak if he found the lines poorly written, creating a more silent, menacing figure.The 1970s also brought in more playful and unconventional interpretations, like Blacula, a Blaxploitation reimagining. We highlighted how William Marshall's portrayal introduced a sophisticated, socially aware Dracula figure who challenged racial themes head-on. There was also Frank Langella's Dracula, which leaned heavily into romantic seduction, further evolving the character from monster to tragic anti-hero.Then came the 1992 film Bram Stoker's Dracula by Francis Ford Coppola, starring Gary Oldman, Keanu Reeves, and Winona Ryder. While visually rich and ambitious in scope, we felt it was uneven — a mix of great performances and questionable choices, particularly with casting and pacing.Modern Spins and ReinventionWe also explored how Dracula has fared in the 21st century. In the 2000s, the character began to be molded in more experimental or comedic directions. We discussed Dracula 2000, which offered a wildly original origin story — portraying Dracula as Judas Iscariot, cursed with immortality for betraying Jesus. Despite the film's overall mediocrity, we admired the creativity of that take.Then, there was Dracula Untold (2014), a more action-oriented approach that reconnected Dracula to Vlad the Impaler. While not universally loved, we found it entertaining and appreciated its attempt to craft a distinct backstory. Meanwhile, the 2020 BBC/Netflix miniseries Dracula starring Claes Bang impressed both of us deeply. We praised it as one of the most creative and engaging portrayals in recent memory, successfully blending horror, humor, and charisma.We also talked about recent comedic takes like Renfield (2023), with Nicolas Cage going full camp as Dracula. Cage's performance stood out despite the film's weaknesses — we both agreed he injected new life into a familiar character. Additionally, animated versions like Hotel Transylvania took Dracula in a fully comedic, family-friendly direction.Cultural Impact and CuriositiesBeyond film, Dracula has appeared across multiple mediums. We were fascinated to learn that he had a run in Marvel comics in the 1970s in Tomb of Dracula, which also introduced Blade. There were radio adaptations, most notably one with Orson Welles, and even ballet productions like Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary, combining gothic horror with Canadian ballet.We included several TV portrayals in our honorable mentions, such as the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Buffy vs. Dracula,” and a Supernatural episode featuring a Dracula-inspired shapeshifter. These versions brought humor and novelty to the character, continuing his evolution into satire and pastiche.And, of course, we couldn't forget the Count from Sesame Street — likely the only Dracula interpretation who's never been evil, only educational.Our Personal Rankings and Final ThoughtsWe each compiled a top-five ranking of our favorite portrayals of Dracula. While our picks varied in the lower ranks — with shoutouts to Nosferatu, Blacula, Dracula Untold, Nicolas Cage's Renfield Dracula, and the 1931 Bela Lugosi version — we both agreed that Claes Bang's portrayal in the 2020 miniseries was number one. His performance captured a blend of menace, charm, and unpredictability that felt refreshing and memorable.As we wrapped up the episode, we reflected on how Dracula, as a character, has endured through decades because of his adaptability. Whether terrifying, seductive, tragic, or hilarious, Dracula continues to evolve with the times. From Victorian fears to modern humor, he offers creators endless possibilities to reimagine what a vampire — and a villain — can be.We're wrapping up villain month with this tribute, but we're excited to start a brand new theme next week. Dracula might be going back to his coffin for now, but he'll certainly rise again.

In this week's episode, we're discussing a movie that Allen has wanted to cover forever and that I have been absolutely dreading-- the 2001 supernatural horror film "The Others." Special topics for your consideration include: the sadneeeeess, recognizing hypocrisy at a tender age, bad medical advice, reasons to go to war, and sad "Beetlejuice." Do you like Nicole Kidman? You can catch her in Episode 76- "???" which is really just "Days of Thunder," or Episode 424- "Stoker" which is also really quite bad. The regular lineup of links!

So much of how we think of Vampires is entwined with Bram Stoker's book Dracula, but what folklore inspired Stoker. We explore the pre Dracula era that led to the rise of the Vampire; from ancient blood sucking entities, to Eastern European graveyards, to Western paranoia. Leaning heavily on Nick Broom's book 'Vampire A New History'.    Help support our podcast by becoming a Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/tqmpod 

Vampire January Continues!! This week we explore the opulent, haunting world of Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, this gothic horror classic reimagines Dracula as a tragic, romantic antihero, blending lush visuals with timeless themes of love, loss, and the supernatural. We discuss Gary Oldman's unforgettable performance as the enigmatic Count Dracula, the film's groundbreaking practical effects, and its richly detailed production design. From Anthony Hopkins' eccentric Van Helsing to Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves' iconic (if occasionally divisive) performances, we examine the cast, storytelling, and Coppola's daring artistic choices. Does Bram Stoker's Dracula remain the definitive adaptation of Stoker's novel, or is it overshadowed by its own extravagance? Tune in as we dissect this enduring classic and its impact on the vampire genre.

Hello and welcome listeners to Episode 270 of Journey with a Cinephile: A Horror Movie Podcast. In this episode, your tour guide, David Garrett Jr., starts off January with doing his New Year, New Movie segment. The randomizer selected The Fourth Victim (1971). I also got a screener for The Damned (2024), that is making its wide release in 2025. This makes for a double feature of people being blinded by things around them, leading to interesting decisions. I also got to see these films for Mini-Reviews: You Are Not Me (2023), Thou Shalt Not Kill (2025), The Phantom of the Opera (1925), Stoker (2013), Before I Wake (2016) and a trio of shorts. They're not horror, but I wanted to support the teams behind them. These are Sundays With Dad (2024), After (2023) and Hard Truths (2023). I hope you enjoy coming on this journey with me!

Nueva versión de esta historia basada libremente en "Drácula" de Bram Stoker, en un proyecto muy personal para su director Robert Eggers que trabajó casi una década en esta obra. Un sólido reparto, liderado por Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult y Lily-Rose Depp, da vida a una obra inquietante y que logra transmitir miedo a la audiencia. Ya disponible en salas de cine.

Hoy sabemos que “Drácula”, la novela de Bram Stoker, refleja varias vivencias de su autor. Los caminos explorados, las ideas que buscaban llegar como fuese al papel, las influencias de otros creadores. Como Walt Whitman, el poeta al que Stoker le dedicó quizás una de sus cartas más personales y a la vez más crípticas, años antes de publicar la obra que lo inmortalizó.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit thewccs.substack.comThe Writing Community Chat Show has always been about celebrating authors, sharing their stories, and inspiring writers everywhere. Our recent interview with J.D. Barker was nothing short of spectacular, a rollercoaster ride of storytelling, career breakthroughs, and invaluable advice. Today, we're giving you a sneak peek into some of the unforgettable moments from this one-of-a-kind conversation. Want the full experience? Become a member now and watch it today.A Tale of Determination: From Stephen King to StardomJ.D. Barker shared an unbelievable story about how his career skyrocketed after what started as a failed attempt to connect with Stephen King. Barker had reached out to King with the hope of receiving permission to use a character from Needful Things in his debut novel, Forsaken. Though King didn't initially respond, fate intervened: King's assistant eventually passed the manuscript along, and to Barker's astonishment, King gave his blessing. The rest is history. This incredible moment not only legitimized Barker's work but also opened doors to a world of opportunity.“It's one of those surreal moments that still feels like a dream,” Barker told us, laughing as he recalled the experience. “One minute, I was trying to track down King; the next, my book sales exploded overnight.”The James Patterson EffectAs if that wasn't enough, Barker also talked about his game-changing collaboration with James Patterson, one of the most successful authors of all time. Patterson's approach to storytelling and his disciplined process left a profound impact on Barker.“James has this incredible ability to simplify storytelling without losing depth,” Barker shared. “Working with him forced me to become a more efficient writer. I used to labor over every sentence, but now I've learned to trust my instincts.”This partnership not only honed Barker's craft but also expanded his reach to an even larger global audience. The camaraderie between these two literary giants is inspiring, and the lessons Barker gleaned are gold for any aspiring writer.Dracul: The Legacy of Bram Stoker Lives OnOne of the most jaw-dropping moments of the interview was when Barker recounted how the Bram Stoker family approached him to co-write a prequel to Dracula. Armed with Bram Stoker's original notes and journals—many of which had never been made public—Barker embarked on the daunting task of bringing Dracul to life. The novel was an instant hit, earning praise from critics and fans alike, while being optioned for film by Paramount.“I'll never forget that phone call,” Barker said, his eyes lighting up. “To have the Stoker family trust me with something so personal and iconic—it was both humbling and terrifying. But that's the kind of challenge you dream of as a writer.”Why You Should Watch NowFrom perseverance to partnerships, J.D. Barker's story is a masterclass in grit, creativity, and seizing opportunities. And the best part? This is just the tip of the iceberg. The full interview dives deeper into his creative process, the ups and downs of his journey, and his invaluable advice for writers at every stage of their careers.You can wait two weeks to watch it when we release it publicly, but why delay the inspiration?

Episode 407: The Crew's going silent while watching F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu. This 1922 German silent film was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Stoker's widow sued and the court ordered all prints to be destroyed. But like a vampire, the film has been resurrected, or restored from a few surviving prints. And thank god, cause the film set the blueprint for vampire films and loads of horror films to come.

Speaking of the Discord, listeners have formed a book club that sends the following message: "PrestigeHeads are organizing a book club for AP subscribers around military historian Donald Stoker's 2024 book Purpose and Power: U.S. Grand Strategy from the Revolutionary Era to the Present. It will likely be a critical reading given Stoker's affiliations and ideology, but the book should provide ample fodder for discussion. The plan is to read at most 50 pages a week and have ongoing discussions on the AP Discord for each chapter. We have people on board to read the introduction and first chapter by Friday, December 6th."

You are in for a treat today because I have writer Tananarive Due on the podcast with me to chat about her new Image Comics project Moon Dogs. She's new to comics but has an American Book Award, an NAACP Image Award, a World Fantasy Award, and two Stoker nominations under her belt already and this book is absolutely fantastic so if she sticks with it, I'm personally convinced there will be an Eisner to add to the trophy cabinet down the road. Moon Dogs is the third launch from The Horizon Experiment, a series of five one-shot comic books each featuring original protagonists from a marginalized background set in a popular genre and inspired by pop culture icons. In this story we follow Nala, a young werewolf, and her family of East African shapeshifters in Miami. There's even a werehyena. Can you believe it? My favorite animal. That's not a big spoiler. It's a mixed family after all. Do yourself a favor and call your shop to snag yourself a copy because I'm convinced the numbers will merit at least a follow up limited series. Make sure to sign up for her mailing list. Additional creative team members Kelsey Ramsay - Art Jose Villarrubia - Colors Jeff Powell - Letters From Bloody Disgusting: Co-edited by Pichetshote and award-winning editor Will Dennis (Somna, Gideon Falls), The Horizon Experiment: Moon Dogs follows a Black family of lycanthropes of East African descent—who call themselves Moon Dogs—as older sister Nala, her parents, and her boyfriend try to protect her teen brother Kai as he gets caught in the middle of a burgeoning war between a savage pack of werewolves and the Miami police force. After a violent attack, Miami locals are starting to learn that werewolves are not just a myth, and Nala's family—who are minorities within a minority—find themselves drawn into a very dangerous situation.

Bram Stoker's life and career was shaped by the strong women around him. Charlotte Stoker, his mother, raised him on folklore and stories of her own youth, while Speranza (Lady Jane Wilde, the mother of Oscar) was a key influence in expanding his knowledge of Ireland's folklore and mythology.  I'm joined by Marion McGarry, author of the acclaimed book Irish Customs and Rituals and an authority on Charlotte Stoker to discuss some of the women central to Stoker's life and work. Live readings by actor Eva Jane Gaffney bring their words to life. Marion's book is available from: https://www.orpenpress.com/books/irish-customs-and-rituals/

This podcast will reveal how Stoker melded ancient folklore and contemporary fiction. It will show how he exploited Victorian fears around sex, science and religion.

Dracula permeates everything. Before we're five years old, we know his story. It's baked into the cultural imagination. However, if you were to hold that story up to the light, you'd immediately notice a lot of holes. In Bram Stoker's iconic work, Dracula appears less frequently than you would think, and his backstory is referenced in short bursts and shrouded in mystery. His tale is perfect fodder for artists Kelley Jones and Matt Wagner to sink their teeth into. Last year, they published Dracula - Book One: The Impaler through Orlok Press via Kickstarter. The hardcover has spent months in the hands of readers (ours included), and its trade paperback release from Dark Horse Comics is set for October 22nd. With the first chapter complete, exploring Dracula's pre-vampire days, set primarily during his time at the Scholomance, aka his unpaid internship with the devil, Jones and Wagner are ready to unleash volume two, Dracula: The Brides. Their latest entry covers centuries, focusing on how Dracula came into contact with the iconic trio, who get pages in Stoker's book but have seared their way into every adaptation. Who are they? What do they mean to Dracula? What happened to the fourth Bride? Dracula: The Brides will take Kelley Jones and Matt Wagner right up until the moment Bram Stoker's novel begins. This means their next chapter dissects the classic and exposes what the Impaler was up to when the other characters were not paying attention. We happily dig into Dracula with Kelley Jones and Matt Wagner on the podcast. We discuss the title character's relationship with romance, women, and blood. We uncover Jones and Wagner's compulsion to tell this story and why comics were always the best fit for it. Dracula: The Brides has fifteen days left on its Kickstarter campaign.

  It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with Adam Hanieh, development studies academic based in the UK, to discuss his recent book Crude Capitalism: Oil, Corporate Power, and the Making of the World Market. Then, she speaks with Greg Stoker, co-host of the Colonial Outcasts podcast, to discuss Israel's recent offensive into Lebanon. First, Emma runs through updates on the release of Jack Smith's new brief on Trump's Jan 6th case, Elon's secret funding of GOP PACs and candidates, Biden-Harris disaster response to Helene, climate change, Harris polling, Israel's expanding offensives in the Middle East, the devastation of Gazan families by Israel, Facebook's suppression, the Longshoremen strike, Jordan Neely's killer, and the presidency of Claudia Sheinbaum, before parsing a little deeper through Jack Smith's Jan 6th briefing, including his approach to SCOTUS' ridiculous immunity qualifiers and some extra insights into the day of January 6th itself. Adam Hanieh then joins, briefly touching on his lived experience in the Middle East before diving deep into the central role that the evolution of fossil fuels has played in shaping Western hegemony over the past century and a half, from the rise of coal directly fueling the growth of the British Empire, and well through the “transition” to oil (really more of an addition than transition) and the rise of US Empire. Expanding on this latter point, Hanieh walks Emma through the rise of the oil industry in the mid-20th Century as a product of monopoly, with near-complete vertical integration in an industry dominated by seven companies (five of which were American), also touching on the major role oil reserves in the Persian Gulf played in the evolution of the Cold War, as the US stepped in for dwindling British and French colonial power in the Middle East, establishing a strong alliance with the Saudi regime before Israel's success in the 1967 war added another major US proxy in the region, with even greater control over the Suez Canal – two relationships that remain central to US interests with the ongoing push for the Abraham Accords. After expanding on the role of the US in bolstering instability and insecurity in the region to secure their influence, Adam wraps up by unpacking the evolution of OPEC and its role as a supposedly decolonial institution headed by a major US-ally and authoritarian regime in Saudi Arabia. Greg Stoker and Emma tackle the rapid expansion of Israel's ongoing military campaign into a full-scale regional conflict, with Israel launching a full-scale terror campaign across Lebanon before advancing a typically collectively punitive bombing campaign against Hezbollah personnel, as well this week's Iran-launched barrage on Tel Aviv. Stoker continues, tackling the glaring parallels between Israel's ongoing invasion of Lebanon and their complete failure in the 2006 war, parsing through the difficulties Israel faces in constantly warring with decentralized guerrilla factions, and exploring Israel's potential responses to Iran's controlled assault. Wrapping up, Greg and Emma tackle the U.S' role as a behind-the-scenes broker between Iran and Israel, and assess the devastating impact Israel's bloodthirst has had on its economy. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they talk with Brendon from San Diego about Harris' attempt to appeal to the center-right, discuss Trump's recent invocations of William McKinley, and watch the Longshoreman Union President vocalize support for Julie Su and call out Fox News… all live on Fox. Pamela from Puerto Rico unpacks PR's shitshow of an election year, Chris Hayes and Ta-Nehisi Coates tackle the “moral abomination” of Israel, and one of Bari Weiss' many conservative grifter networks does some conservative grifting, plus, your calls and IMs!
