Hey folks! Something a bit different this week. Last year, I got quite a lot of interest in the idea of me talking about my relationship with existing vampire media, queer readings of those vampires, and how those things contributed to the creation of Not Quite Dead. Mild Spoiler Warnings for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Twilight, Dracula, Interview with the Vampire and Underworld. Based Vampirification is me discussing the various pieces of vampire media that set me down the path which would eventually lead to the conception of Not Quite Dead. It involves tenuous leaps, stretched interpretations and deeply personal readings of the texts in question, all informed by many years of academic literary study and not-so-academic vampire brain rot.

If you're intrigued to take a slightly more scholarly jaunt into this subject matter, here are some things which I think make for a great jumping off point. There's a range of things listed here, including a fun video essay, some non-academic articles and an academic paper:
- ‘The trail of blood : queer history through vampire literature’ https://louis.uah.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1220&context=uah-theses
- ‘Vampires Are Us’ https://glreview.org/article/vampires-are-us/
- ‘Closet and Coffins: The Queer-Coded History of Vampires and Representation’ https://ohiofusion.com/closet-and-coffins-the-queer-coded-history-of-vampires-and-representation/
- ‘Vampiric Seduction and Vicissitudes of Masculine Identity in Bram Stoker’s Dracula’ https://www.jstor.org/stable/40347238
