Vampires: From Ancient Bogeyman to Romantic Heroes
Throughout time the vampire has been both the sum of all of our fears and the perfect scape goat, but has retained an allure that has carried his popularity across centuries. Laura Enright, author of
books such as Vampires Most Wanted the Top Ten Book of Bloodthirsty Bitters examines the evolution of the vampire myth in literature and media and how an ancient bogeyman, by turns, has become a romantic
figure, super hero and even a teen dream. Laura is a member of the Chicago Writers Association speakers' bureau.
