Beyond Twilight: Vampire Fiction

How did we get from Lord
Byron and Bram Stoker to the billion dollar media empire of Twilight, and where
does the modern vampire go from here?



In this lively slide show
and talk, author Inanna Arthen will trace the history of vampires and debunk
some common mistakes about the genre. Did Stoker base Dracula on a 15th century
warlord? Do vampires burn in sunlight? Can vampires eat? If you think you know
the answers, you're in for some surprises!



Inanna Arthen has been
studying vampire folklore, media and culture for 45 years, and runs Light
Unseen Media. She is the author of the Vampires in New England Series of
novels.
