In this episode, Emily and I compare Dracula and Carmilla, the earliest novels about Vampires in the English language. Even though Brahm Stoker was heavily influenced by Sheridan La Fenu, he took the vampire in an entirely new direction that continues to inspire us today! We take a look at the fears each of these monsters represent and the strengths and weaknesses of these narratives. Please note there are spoilers for the book in this episode.
