My guest tonight has been a lecturer at the University of Exeter in Southwest England, a Senior Lecturer in Post-Medieval Literature at the University of Bristol and among other things he writes about Vampires.
Published to mark the bicentenary of John Polidori’s publication of The Vampyre, Nick Groom’s detailed new account illuminates the complex history of the iconic creature. The vampire first came to public prominence in the early eighteenth century, when Enlightenment science collided with Eastern European folklore and apparently verified outbreaks of vampirism, capturing the attention of medical researchers, political commentators, social theorists, theologians, and philosophers. Groom accordingly traces the vampire from its role as a monster embodying humankind’s fears, to that of an unlikely hero for the marginalized and excluded in the twenty-first century.
Professor Nick Groom presents a rich and eerie history of the vampire as a strikingly complex being that has been used to express the traumas and contradictions of the human condition. Tonight we talk about Vampires.

Greetings human listeners. I’m Cameron Brauer and this is My Alien Life Patron page. https://patron.podbean.com/myalienlife
My Alien Life is a podcast for those who have a story to tell, and I really wish I could get to all of your stories. I promise to do my best..
What is this? Think of it as an online tip jar. My Alien Life Patron Page is a website that gives everyone in the world an opportunity to become a patron and support the artists they believe in. The great thing about supporting My Alien Life is, you get to decide how much you feel comfortable contributing to each podcast. My goal is to keep doing at least two podcasts each week… And it’s okay if you want to put a cap on how much you’d like to support every month so you don’t go over your budget.. As you know, some weeks I get a burst of energy and I want to produce lots of new content…
I’ll keep producing episode after episode and you’ll get ALL the content.. I won’t hold back and make you pay for extra content.
And if you just want to listen without becoming a patron, that’s awesome, you still get to hear all My Alien Life Podcasts for free.
It’s expensive to make a podcast. There’s electronic gear, web domain fees, web hosting fees, tee-shirts, postage stamps, tin foil hats, alien assault spray and more…..
No matter what you decide, please always listen to the podcast. That’s what I really want. We are a team, and your support is what keeps people like us going…
Thank you for being amazing, and keep listening to My Alien Life the Podcast!!
Respectfully,
Cam
