Film and Television Studies and Vampire-Zombie-Horror scholar Stacey Abbott stops by to talk about her latest book, NEAR DARK, part of the BFI Film Classics series by Bloomsbury.

She teaches classes on vampires in television and film, has spent years convincing friends and strangers to see NEAR DARK, and she talks about all of the research she’s done on the movie and the making of the movie, and so much more.

And yes, we also dive into ANGEL for quite a while, and I can’t wait for her to write a zombie study!

      I hadn’t remembered until I was making the graphic for this episode that I own a copy of READING ANGEL from years back. That’s a good reference, too.

      ATBPublishing.com is where you can find Vol 1 of the X-Files collection (Vol 2 due out in early 2021), and they published the OUTSIDE IN GAINS A SOUL collection on Angel & Firefly.

      Fair warning, ATB is also working on a Babylon 5 collection 🙂
