    Vlad the Magic Dragon: The Historian

    What would you do if you were a young girl in the 1970s with a diplomat father, a vanished mother, an addiction to sweet desserts, and a possible family secret involving a famous Transylvanian count whose family symbol was a dragon? What would you do if one day your father disappeared to search for your mother and you were left to go after him, traveling through various cities and eating bread and cheese and bars of chocolate? What if your father left you a series of letters that detailed how he met your mother, his graduate studies with a professor who had found proof that Dracula was still alive and wreaking havoc, and luscious meals in Istanbul, Bulgaria, Romania and London? You'd probably start drooling at mentions of cheese, red peppers, roast lamb, chocolate torta, cheese pastry, coffee, eggplant, yogurt, chicken paprikash and pastries mounded with whipped cream, right? What if your ultimate search for your parents and Dracula led you to the knowledge that you were descended from Vlad Dracula himself? We are discussing these beguilingly bloodthirsty questions and analyzing the connection between food and horror in Elizabeth Kostova's marvelous novel The Historian, so please join us.

    Kids These Days: Let The Right One In

    What would you do if you were a 12-year old boy living next door to a really weird girl who could solve your Rubik's Cube, could apparently fly, and who vomited up the candy you gave her as a token of your love? What would you do if you were being bullied by some really awful kids at your school and the weird girl took care of them in the local swimming pool in a really spectacular fashion? What if this weird girl next door supposedly lived with her father who was weirder than her and who loved drinking milk with his spaghetti before he went out seeking blood? What if you fell in love with the weird girl next door and started craving a bit of blood before mealtime? We're discussing these freakily famishing questions and analyzing the connection between food and horror in the 2008 vampire film Let The Right One In and the book of the same name, so please join us!

    Are Those Maggots in my Chinese Takeout? - The Lost Boys

    Now what would you do if you were a single mother of two teenage boys and you had to move to the murder capital of the world in order to raise them? What would you do if you met the potential man of your dreams who wooed you with lollypops and expensive dinners, but also had an odd habit of vanishing during the day? What if you invited this Lothario over for a home-cooked meal of spaghetti and meatballs and your younger son dumped garlic all over his lap? What if your older son started hanging out with a coven of Goths who rode motorcycles obnoxiously, ate rice that turned into maggots and noodles that transformed into worms, and drank blood for fun? We're discussing these terrifyingly toothsome questions and analyzing the connections between food and horror in Joel Schumacher's 80s vampire flick The Lost Boys, so please join us!

    Introduction to Season 4

    We're back, Constant Listeners, with a brand-new season kicking off in two weeks.
