Vampires!

Vampires are everywhere, but you don’t need to creep around in dark shadows and coffin-filled basements to find them. They live on our cereal boxes, in our lexicon and – of course – in our popular entertainment. Tonight on the Front Porch, we look at the history and lore of the fashionable undead and how they’ve infiltrated our mainstream culture.

Our guest is Eric Nuzum, author of The Dead Travel Fast: Stalking Vampires from Nosferatu to Count Chocula and Director of Programming and Acquisitions for National Public Radio.
