Listen Stephen, Stephen Listen

'salem's Lot

Episode Summary

We and Stephen turn our gaze toward vampires and small town living. What do the two have in common? They suck.

Episode Notes

Heavy topics:

• The acknowledgment of serial killers and the realization that we are not safe
• Ruthie Crockett and the virgin/whore dichotomy
• Everyone in this town is monstrous and transgression begets transgression

The lighter side:

• Ann Norton is right exactly one (1) time
• Everyone in this book is not like other girls
• good clean capitalism vs dirty modern capitalism
• Susan gets mansplained by a literal child
• Lillie got a bingo!

Recommendations:
Dracula by Bram Stoker, Let The Right One In, What We Do In The Shadows, and moving if you suspect your town is beset by vampires.
