We return to the subject of vampires on The Folklore Podcast, a subject which we last covered in detail way back in Season 2 with a two-part investigation into the folkloric vampire.This time, we focus on the vampire as it is found in the Slavic regions, with our guest Sam Grant. Sam, who travelled to the area to research the subject, is also the author of a currently unpublished novel, 'Bunika' which fuses actual Slavic vampire lore with fictional elements. In discussion with Mark Norman, the creator and host of The Folklore Podcast, Sam explains the fundamentals of Slavic lore as it relates to the image of the vampire.You can visit Sam's website at www.bunikanovel.comJoin the Folklore Podcast Patreon, either as a free member or for a small monthly amount, to access a wealth of exclusive extra folklore content and support the show.
