Vampires of Lore with AP Sylvia: Folklore, Fangs & the Making of Monsters

Описание: In this replay of my recent livestream, we’re diving fang-first into the surprising, sometimes shocking truth behind vampire lore with author and folklorist A.P. Sylvia. If you think you know vampires—think again.


A.P., author of Vampires of Lore: Traits and Modern Misconceptions, joins me to break down what real vampires looked like long before Hollywood turned them into seductive creatures of the night. 


We explore:


• Why classic traits like fangs, invitations indoors, and neck bites aren’t part of historical lore


• How fear, disease, and cultural anxiety shaped vampire myths across Europe, New England, and beyond


• Wild-but-true historical vampire cases, including the infamous Mercy Brown incident


• Global variations of vampiric entities and superstition—from Eastern Europe to Asia to Appalachia


• How modern portrayals reflect fears about mortality, aging and identity






If you're fascinated by vampires, folklore and history, come lurk with us at the edge of myth vs reality.
