Episode 13: 80s/90s Vampire Comedies

Join Mattie Tucker (mattie-tucker.com), Robyn, Mona, Geoffrey Sperl (geoffreysperl.com), and Fred (@alysdragon; in a cameo at the very end) for a discussion of three vampire comedies from the 1980s and 90s: Once Bitten, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and A Vampire in Brooklyn. It's a lively and strong discussion—enjoy!

Episode 12: Interview with the Vampire

Join Alys Wilfred Earl (@alysdragon), Mattie Tucker (@doomedrider), Robyn, Mona, and Geoffrey Sperl (geoffreysperl.com) for Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire. We discuss the novel at length, plus the movie and a tiny bit of the new TV series. This also serves as a lead-in to our next episode on The Vampire Lestat and The Queen of the Damned. Is it a standalone book? Is it truly the start of a series? Very importantly, is it a vampire novel?

Episode 11: The Gilda Stories

Join Alys Wilfred Earl (@alysdragon), Mattie Tucker (@doomedrider), and Geoffrey Sperl (geoffreysperl.com) for Jewelle Gomez's The Gilda Stories. We also discuss a bit of how the novel serves almost like a counterargument to Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles (which we will be tackling in the near future).

Episode 10: Fledgling

Join Alys Wilfred Earl (@alysdragon), Mattie Tucker (@doomedrider), Michael Gordon (@bengoram), and Geoffrey Sperl (@geoffreysperl) for another LOST EPISODE! In this episode (recorded in February 2019), we discuss Octavia Butler's FLEDGLING (and there's a reference to some of what Geoffrey and Mona were talking about recently on BabylonSquared, too!), question where the capitalist American vampire originated, and discuss some VAMPIRE: THE MASQUERADE. We also apologize for the slight background hum that pops up here and there. If you're interested in getting this book for yourself, see our (US) affiliate link: https://amzn.to/3ivfY3Y

Episode 9: The Coldest Girl in Coldtown

Join Alys Wilfred Earl (@alysdragon), Mattie Tucker (@doomedrider), Michael Gordon (@bengoram), and Geoffrey Sperl (@geoffreysperl) for a LOST EPISODE! In this episode (recorded in April of 2017), we discuss Holly Black's THE COLDEST GIRL IN COLDTOWN (and there's a reference to BABYLON 5, too!). References abound to our first episode (CERTAIN DARK THINGS) and some foreshadowing for BLOOD SINISTER, too! And... is Mattie really Holly Black?!?
