  • Vampires of New England

    Cape Cod Museum of Natural History 869 Main Street, Brewster, MA, United States

    The New England vampire panic in the 18th and 19th centuries emerged years after the region’s more infamous Salem witch trials, and although Rhode Island was ostensibly the epicenter, it was a region-wide phenomenon throughout Connecticut, southern and western Massachusetts, Vermont, and other areas of the New England states. Recently, not only has exciting new information about one of New England’s vampires come to light, but an additional case has been found, adding to the mysterious history, lore, and culture of New England! Join Susan Jarek-Glidden for the intriguing story of Vampires of New England.

  • Behind the Bookcase Tour: Dracula: The Enduring Monster

    The Rosenbach Museum & Library 2008-2010 Delancey Place, Philadelphia, PA, United States

If that doesn’t sound too terrifying, hazard a look at the Rosenbach’s latest vampiric acquisitions: a colonial edition of Dracula made for India and the British colonies, and Spiritual Vampirism, printed in 1853, a volume shedding pertinent clues on the context of Stoker’s diabolical work.
