Description

Explore the hidden queer history of vampire mythology, from folklore to modern pop culture. Why has the vampire become such a powerful symbol for queer identity? From the earliest folklore to gothic literature, vampires have long embodied themes of forbidden desire, transformation, and otherness – resonating deeply with queer experience. Trace the queer subtext through classic vampire literature and film to today's openly queer vampire narratives. See what this monster reveals about desire, difference, and belonging. Doors open at 7pm, and the talk starts at 7:30pm. Come early to grab a good seat!
