From the depth of dark folklore to the glow of the silver screen, vampires reflect the fears, questions, and concerns of the living. Long the object of scientific inquiry and philosophical debate, then forever emblazoned in iconic literature, the story of the vampire over time has forced us to confront disease, desires, and the darkness. Tara and Doug tackle the history of vampirism and the big questions it still raises from the grave.
