Fangs.
A new podcast series about Dracula that ‘sinks its teeth into Bram Stoker’s pop culture legacy’.
Host Liam Gergahty (top) writes:
From film to animation and from music to video games, this four episode series will feature guests such as Bram’s great-grand nephew Dacre Stoker, Norman Stiles – the creator of Count Von Count on Sesame Street and film critic Tara Brady.
It’s hosted by myself for Bram Stoker Festival. Episode 1 launches on October 1, with a new episode every week leading up to the festival on 26th – 29th.

Recently I read Bram Stoker’s The Snake Pass. I hadn’t realised that Stoker was a big GAA supporter.
For a country that tends to make big fuss over our literary heritage, I am surprised that more of a fuss is not made over stoker, who single-handedly created the biggest sub-genre in all of popular culture.
James Joyce has a museum in the Martello Tower in Sandycove, another in the house from ‘The Dead’, and even his own day – Dracula and vampires are more popular than anything Joyce ever created by a factor of one hundred, and what do we have to celebrate his literary legacy – the Dracula experience in Barcode?
Agreed! Hopefully you’ll like FANGS – we’ve gathered the worlds leading Bram Stoker experts, academics and artists (not to mention his great-grand nephew!) to discuss Stoker and his legacy in pop culture. You can subscribe anywhere you get podcast. Starts Oct 1st. Cheers!
