Drops of Slavic Blood: Vampires Real and Imagined

The vampire at once intrigues and horrifies, seduces and repels. It has become one of the most enduring figures of Western – and, in an even more ancient context, Eastern – literatures and cultures. For more than a thousand years, stories of reanimated creatures that sustain their own lives by taking away the “life force” of other living beings have filled our imaginations and the pages of world literatures. Join us on October 25 from 2 – 4 pm.
