Nightmare Fuel Podcast--Episode Five--Carmilla


Good Evening, my lovely deviants!

Tonight, we take a journey to the nocturnal side of a most exclusive sapphic sisterhood. The female vampire has been with us since the days of Lilith. But the lesbian vampire traces its' roots to J.S. Lefanu's Carmilla. Published in 1872, this tastefully written account of same sex attraction between a vampire and a young woman has become a mainstay of horror fiction.

You can take my word for it, as you listen to the episode. Afterwards, listen to the vampiric goodness as read by the beautifully-voiced Elizabeth Klett from Librivox.org

Podcaster's Note: I originally intended to talk about the various film adaptations of Carmilla as well, but didn't get round to it in this week's episode. So, that'll be next week's topic. Also, due to space limitations on Podbean.com, I will post all future episodes to Archive.org. As always, you can listen to the episodes here, via the embedded player. I will also continue to make the links available to where you can download each week's episode for play on iPod, and other devices.

For those of you who may have subscribed via iTunes (the Podbean account) fret not. I will do a monthly round up of the best episodes to be posted there. ALL BACK EPISODES will be availabe on Archive.org

Also, make sure to check out some of my fiction at http://landofinsomnia.blogspot.com The latest piece speculates on what Jack The Ripper might have included on his iPod. A bit of "whistle while you rip."

Episode Four--Vampire Sex!




Ah, Das Vampyrien Erotika.

I actually don't think that's good German, but then again, who's taking notes? It sounded good to me at the time.

Tonight, I fly solo, and explore the vast topic of vampires as sexual metaphor. Things take a slightly more somber tone in this episode. I read an essay that I wrote about vampires as sexual metaphor, subtitled, The Time I Got Down with My Bad Vamp Self. In the process of reading I disclose a few of my not-so-unusual kinks. This is followed up by a reading of John Frost's short story The Night Visitor.

This is by no means a definitive study of such a vast topic, but it is a good starting place for those interested in the topic.

I also discuss the upcoming solar eclipse, only viewable from Easter Island (where everybody is stoned or plastered...literally). Plus, This Week in Strange covers a surprising story about Roy Rogers...and his late, great, sidkick--Trigger!

As always, your feedback is most welcome. You can listen to this week's episode on the page here, or download at archive.org (just click the title of this week's episode to be taken there).

Join me, children of the night, for an orgy of BLOOD!

As an added bonus, I've included a link to a video of Christopher Lee performing opera in 1970!
