Kristina from Vampire Insider joins Elysia to talk about the best show on TV that you might not yet be watching: Interview with the Vampire on AMC+ (and temporarily Netflix, later this year) – beginning with a spoiler-free look at that series for anyone who's still deciding whether it's for them.

And then we bite into the highs and heartbreaks of both seasons of the show, and the rest of AMC's Immortal Universe, plus the Vampire Chronicles books by Anne Rice – but we save book-spoiler-based speculation about what might be coming in the confirmed season 3 for a special section at the end. After a few bonus rounds of Bite-Bone-Burn, of course.
