Blood on the Bluegrass

Part One (Chapters 1–3)

Episode Title:

Blood on the Bluegrass — Part One

We begin the story of Rod Ferrell and the so-called Vampire Clan by exploring the myth he built,

the vulnerable teenagers he pulled into it, and the road trip that carried them from fantasy into

imminent tragedy.

CHAPTERS

Chapter One — “The Vampire of Murray, Kentucky”

A lonely teenager crafts an identity powerful enough to mask his wounds and attract followers

who see him as something larger than life.

Chapter Two — “The Lost and the Searching”

Rod gathers a circle of fragile, impressionable teens who mistake his certainty for purpose and

mistake his mythology for truth.

Chapter Three — “Crossing the Threshold”

The clan leaves Kentucky for Florida on what they believe is a rescue mission, unaware that they

are driving toward irrevocable violence.
