Eerie Episode: Vampires, Twihards, and The Gothic


Listen Later

The girlies venture into Vampire Lore™  in Part I of a series of Eerie Episodes. They explore the shocking disease that turned people into vampires, the impact of vampiric literature, how Stephanie Meyer bastardized Gothic traditions via Mormonism, and more! Digressions include a plug for our upcoming virtual live show, an earnest diary entry from a day-one Twihard, and advice for a binchie who can’t stop dating people who want them to suck their blood.
