The Allure of Vampires (Virtual)

Vampire stories have captivated people for centuries. Books, games, TV, and film have drawn audiences in with a mix of horror, sensuality, and the appeal of eternal life. The first mention of vampires was over a thousand years ago and since then their legend has become a part of the cultural legend and myth with Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Bela Lugosi’s interpretation of the character, and Anne Rice’s beguiling series of novels living long in the memory. But why have the tales of the undead endured? And what makes them so appealing in the modern day? This program with Bill Thierfelder explores the ongoing allure of these powerful creatures.

This program is a collaboration with the Groton Public Library and other libraries in NH and MA.
