Tuesday, October 25, 2011 at 7:00 pm
Vampires have fascinated the
English-speaking world ever since Bram
Stoker’s novel Dracula which spawned an
entire genre of tales about
night-walkers who drink the blood of the
living. What is it about vampires that
has kept people so deeply enthralled?
Tom Greene, Professor of English at
Northern Essex, outlines the evolution
of the modern vampire legend and reveals
how vampires captivate us by addressing
not only to our deepest fears, but also
our most secret desires.
