    The Family That Bloodsucks Together: The Radleys

    What would you do if you were an angst-ridden teenager with a secret crush on the new boy in the neighborhood and a taste for fish and chips? What would you do if your vomiting vegan sister was chased through the woods, nearly attacked then turned around and killed her would-be assaulter by sinking her teeth into him? What would you do if your seemingly normal mother, who loved to bake bread, make cakes, and cook blood sausages and pancakes for breakfast, and your seemingly normal father who loved cocktails and the taste of his own blood, told you one day that you were vampires? What would you do if your super cool uncle showed up one day to help hide the murder of the attacker kid, demonstrated his love for chocolate chip cookies and mesmerism, and showed you the fun aspects of drinking blood? We'll be discussing these scarily scrumptious issues and analyzing the connection between food and horror in the 2024 film The Radleys, so please join us.

What if, when you got to the estate where the wedding was being held, you met the estate owner and fell in love with him?

What if he turned out to be not just a vampire, but the big bad granddad of vampires himself, Dracula? It might turn you off your food for awhile, right?

    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.
