Podcast: Show 11 - Vampires! on Odeo

Ex-Lemmingworks. ##.

I just picked up a copy of Curran’s book “Vampires: A field Guide…” as I’m looking for celtic vampire references. While googling to find how this Dr. Bob is, I found: Show 11 - Vampires! on Odeo: “On this week’s show, author Dr. Bob Curran tells us about vampires and how they differ from the Hollywood stereotype!” And i’m having a listen. Fun? Wow.

That was great, Jason, thanks for posting that link! (You didn't happen to find any other interesting source material for Celtic vampire lore, did you? :-) )

I have the book, it's not bad. Curran also edited an anthology of Irish vampire fiction--Bloody Irish--that I don't have and desperately want.

I'm looking a lot for celtic vampire material, with little luck. Aside from my paper on map and newburgh, obviously enough. Oh, and this one too...

Looks very good.

Yes, I bookmarked the article when you referred to it previously, great resource!

What, exactly, are you looking for in terms of Celtic vampire lore? Have you tried any of these?
