What this episode covers
After Anne Rice’s death on December 11, 2021, Geek4 alum, Murray Leeder posted a thoughtful Facebook reflection (such things can exist) on Rice, her work, and being a former fan. She was, he notes, “the first author [he] ‘fell out of fandom’ with.” (see Murray’s post below). He describes his early fascination; his participation in the then-infant online fan communities. He talks about his loss of interest. Murray’s words, engaging and thoughtful, got me thinking about loss and nostalia for things that we left behind. Or left us. It provided me an opportunity to invte Murray back on Geek4 and talk about not only Rice and her influece (not only on him, as a fan, but as perhaps the most signifcant figure shaping vampire lore since Stoker).
