Special guest Grady Hendrix joins the Book Squad this week to discuss the 2020 Netflix/BBC series "Dracula." We talk about Dracula lore, departures from Bram Stoker’s novel, the historical depiction of vampires, recent television trends, and the overall weird, wild ride that is this three-episode series. Next, we ask Grady all about his newest book, "The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires." Then we dig into some feedback on several recent books and update what’s on the Book Squad Blog. Read along with us for our next #bookpisode on "Gideon the Ninth" by Tamsyn Muir on April 20, and watch the Hulu miniseries "Devs" for our next #othersode on May 4!
