Melissa Dawn has always felt drawn to the dark corners of the human story—not for fear, but for fascination. She is a podcaster, writer, researcher, and content creator devoted to the enduring mystery of the vampire. Alongside her research and writing, she hosts two shows: Velvet Bite Radio, where vampires in history and fiction take center stage, and Vampires of the Simulation, a deeper dive into mind, myth, and the hidden forces shaping our reality. Both are extensions of the same curiosity—what lurks beneath the surface, and why we remain haunted.

Melissa returns to Talking Weird to share her extensive knowledge of vampire lore, and to address the question: What are the myths, and what are the realities of vampirism?

This is a creepy and fascinating deep dive, that you do not want to miss!
