Episode notes

There are some sources that scholars have cited and this might be an interesting bridge to the Machado stuff. There's also some scholarship pointing to an unfinished poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge called Christabelle. Carmilla has been adapted a bunch vampir in 1932 Dracula's daughter 36 is bringing it back to Dracula. Blood and roses really more like Dracula's mother I guess.

Carmilla is a double-whammy: an English-language vampire novel that predates Dracula by nearly three decades, and an edit from Carmen Maria Machado that both underlines the story's gay subtext and has a bit of fun with readers while doing it. Just try not to take her notes too literally and you'll be fine, probably.

Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
