Sean and Lynn discuss the King of Vampires and his literary origins. Beginning with the Summer of 1816 that also spawned Frankenstein, they examine Lord Byron's abandoned vampire novel that became Polidori's "The Vampyre", the penny dreadful sensation "Varney the Vampire", "Carmilla" and Bram Stoker's novel as a New World vs. Old World allegory. Just in time for Halloween.
