Vampirologist “Ghost in the Machine” Podcast Interview
February 15, 2012 | Leave a Comment
I feel that I own an apology to Gail Z. Martin (science fiction and fantasy author, “Chronicles of the Necromancer” series and “The Fallen Kings Cycle“), host of Ghost in the Machine Podcast. I did an interview with her back in October and somehow I missed posting it up on my website. Here it is for your listening pleasure now.
We talk about how to become a vampirologist, the difference between mythological vampires and fictional ones, the variety of vampire species, the cultural differences of vampires, my favorite vampire: the Pishtaco, what vampire mythology tells us about different cultures, how we got from Bella Lugosi to Bella and Edward, the vampire and the “bad boy” attraction, the angst of vampires and a deathless existence, and the vampire’s isolated existence. It was great fun and I hope you enjoy!
