From Rhinebeck to Romania

Join us for the final part of our three-part mini-series on real-life giants! After debriefing our online New York Sheep and Wool 2020 experiences (aka Rhinebeck), we leave the virtual for the vampiric! We'll discuss the real Dracula's historical roots, Bram Stoker's source material for Dracula, and the surprisingly adorable habits and behaviors of the modern vampire bat.  The Frog is super eager to share some wonderful literary tidbits with you about the themes, forms, and inspiration for Stoker's Gothic horror novel, as well as a few more modern reads to keep your October nights spooktacular!  Rumpel is swooning over the cuteness of bats (believe it!) at the same time that she has foraged for some neat-o ceramic tools and embroidery projects to make your crafty heart sing. And we may not have had an interview with a vampire, but we most certainly did interview a librarian for a convo about her all-time favorite vampire novel.  So tune in and check it all out!
