08 – An Anthropological Study of Cohabitating Vampires

Episode eight is out!

This week, Pie and Lulu take a dive into two very different takes on vampires: the 2014 comedy-mockumentary What We Do in the Shadows and S.T. Gibson’s gothic novella A Dowry of Blood. We discuss comedic versus traditional interpretations of vampires, immortal roommate drama, and how human the heart of vampire stories can really be.

As always, you can listen to this episode on Podbean, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iTunes, Stitcher, and more!
