The Vampyre
Stoke your Brams and Bram your Stokers, because James and Alasdair are joined by Sacha Coward: escape room designer and author of the upcoming book Queer as Folklore. Taking us from Lilith to Lord Byron (stopping off at Tom Cruise for a layover), Sacha unearths the LGBTQ+ subtext of the Vampire.
Sorry, Vampyre. Say it with a Y.
We touch on some slightly more serious themes than our usual fare of decapitations and maggot-covered doors, but you’ll have to check out the Patreon extras for the really slanderous stuff…
