Octavia Butler’s novel Fledgling replaces Stoker’s patriarchal supernatural monster myth with a novel about a black, female vampire from another world. Students are responsible for their own internet connections. Class size will be limited to 25 participants per session. We’ll use the Zoom meeting format, so we can all be on the screen together, talking about our favorite vampire stories. Unlike our Sundays with Dracula series, these meetings will include student discussion. Then each month, we’ll feature a different vampire text: from stories of vampire folklore and fiction before Dracula to contemporary vampire fiction. We’ll also take a look at some of the notes the author compiled as he wrote the book and now are a part of The Rosenbach’s collections.
