YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBianca Nobilo uncovers the history of vampires, from the village in the 1700s who dug up their dead to make a grisly discovery, to how the bloodsuckers have been presented in film and literature, taking them from monsters to sex symbols. Plus, what does it take to be a modern-day vampire?
Bianca speaks to Leibniz Institute research associate, Peter Kreuter, Prof Roger Luckhurst, who is editor of The Cambridge Companion to Dracula, and Maven Lore, 'fangsmith' to today’s vampire community.
A note from Bianca:
“Would you have believed in vampires if you lived in the 18th Century? The roots of this myth has long been a fascination of mine and my recommendations are: Bram Stoker's Dracula - the version edited by Professor Luckhurst, of course. The classic, John Blair's Killing the Dead: Vampire Epidemics from Mesopotamia to the New World by John Blair & The History and Folklore of Vampires: The Stories and Legends Behind the Mythical Beings, Charles River Editors. Also, if you can ever get to Transylvania - I would. Off to get my fangs fitted. B x”
