Show us your fangs! 🧛🏾♂️🧛🏾♀️🧛🏻♂️ [emojis for Man Vampire: Medium-Dark Skin Tone; Woman Vampire: Medium-Dark Skin Tone; Man Vampire: Light Skin Tone]
This week we’re sinking our teeth into season 1 of AMC+’s ‘Interview With The Vampire’ 🩸⚰️🐀
[emojis for drop of blood, coffin, rat]
As the nights draw in and Autumn approaches, it’s the perfect time to dissect media’s most romanticised monster. Join us on our monster hunt, as we discuss how the show uses the unreliable narrator as a tool of adaptation, Black vampires and who gets to be ‘monstrous’ but also sympathetic, the power of storytelling from the margins, and of course, arguments for queer vampire divorce.
Come inside, we won’t bite… 🦇
Content Warnings: Domestic Violence, murder, blood, violence
