The Outer Realm welcomes Friend and Special Guest, Author Eric Vernor

Date: March 26th, 2026

EP: 698

TOPIC: Eric will be talking about one of his numerous books " Vampire Cult Killer: The Real Story of Rod Ferrell"

About the book:

-Join the author of The World History of Vampires and Haunted Asylums (E.R. Vernor) on a journey into the mind of one of the country’s youngest killers to be put on Death Row.

Vampire Cult Killer is the true story of a young man whose life was spared by the Florida Courts. On November 25th, 1996, Rod Ferrell and Scott Anderson, two teenagers from Murray, Kentucky, broke into the home of Heather Wendorf. Ferrell then bludgeoned her middle-aged parents to death. Ferrell and Anderson then escaped with three teenage girls, one being Heather Wendorf herself.

In 2010, the author was contacted by Sondra ‘Star’ Gibson, Rod Ferrell’s mother, who wanted the public to know her son’s full story through never seen before original art, poems, and handwritten letters of the infamous killer. Reporters presented the public with stories of Sondra participating with her son in cult rituals and sacrifices. Vampire Cult Killer seeks to unravel the real story of Rod Ferrell.

This book goes deeper than any other, and it contains the full transcripts of court cases, interviews, and photos of the killer from early childhood to present day. Also is included the full court cases, and the follow up examination of his case when the notorious killer went back to court petitioning for his release in 2019, when mental health experts testified during the resentencing hearings that vampire cult leader Rod Ferrell has changed.
