Today's episode is the first of Queer as Fiction, a series in which we talk to you about the intersection of the historical and the queer in the media. We'll kick things off with J. Sheridan Le Fanu's 1872 lesbian vampire novella Carmilla, and talk about just how gay it actually is, the pop culture it has influenced and, apparently, 300 years of Anglo-Irish conflict.

Also, Morella by Edgar Allan Poe - also a vampire story, supposedly gay. Been awhile since I read it...

I have already read Camilla. I came upon it when searching for lesbians/queers in literature. Love that you're talking about it, so excited to listen :D
