About Us
Acclaimed authors of vampire fiction, Dan Klefstad
and Eva Vertrice, are teaming up to deliver a podcast for their fellow “creatures of
the night.” Their new production, VampChat with Dan & Eva, is devoted to vampire
fiction, fanged folklore, and the gothic imagination.
Klefstad and Vertrice each received excellent reviews for their own vampire novels,
Fiona’s Guardians and A Fury, and share a fascination for folk histories involving
vampire panics or individuals suspected of vampirism. They also love films and TV
shows about the undead or “nosferatu,” and will include a review in each episode of
VampChat.
