from Seasonal Prose by the Collective · host SPTC Book Club

In this episode of Seasonal Prose by the Collective, we continue our discussion of Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice, starting with a brief recap before exploring two of the novel’s most challenging elements: the plantation setting and its historical harm, and the character of Claudia, a child vampire whose story raises difficult questions. We wrap up our Autumn Season and introduce our Winter Season, starting with the novel Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton. We also reference the film Poor Things, as well as the television adaptations Interview with the Vampire and Mayfair Witches. Additional literary mentions include The Vampire Chronicles and The Mayfair Witches Trilogy by Anne Rice, Pomegranate Seed by Edith Wharton, the work of Edgar Allan Poe, and I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman.Follow us on Instagram - sptcpodcast - and like our show to stay updated on upcoming episodes!
