The Mercy Brown Vampire Incident
Episode Bio
Wow, what a year 2020 has been so far. We are glad to finally be back during these trying times and we hope you guys haven't forgotten about us! This episode is of a very short tale about a family once thought to have fallen victim to a daughter turned vampire. While the supposed undead beast fed off one of it's own, the townsfolk had to make haste in loosening the creature's grasp that it had on the family and be sure it would never happen again. The story relates fairly well with what's going on in today's world - a pandemic, superstitions, conspiracies, and the toll it can have on everyone, and so that's why we chose this topic. With some podcasts, videos, etc. being taken down due to false information and/or rising conspiracies that conflicts with certain guidelines and restrictions, we have decided to take the route of not approaching the subject of COVID-19 during this time and instead discuss something relatable but with more of a "The Farthest Reaches" vibe. The Mercy Brown Vampire Incident has left it's mark on pop culture in many ways in which we mention and discuss a few of them. It's a reminder of the effect that these stories can have throughout our lives. They are the roots in which some incredible pieces of work stem from and their ways of influence are sure to continue for years to come.
