As a prelude to an unknown amount of episodes on vampires, we dive into the first appearances of this iconic immortal and various equivalent bloodsucking creatures across cultures, including an affinity for pregnant women, an aversion to garlic, and sunlight, but with loads of sexiness. This episode is a short sweet intro to the vast subject of VAMPIRES, which we will revisit in the future.
