Welcome to the very first episode of The Night Crew Podcast, where things that go bump in the night get their time in the spotlight. Host and author Brad Ricks kicks off the vampire series with a fang-tastic overview of bloodsuckers throughout history and across the globe.

From ancient Eastern European folklore to fetus-hunting monsters from the Philippines (yes, really), we explore where vampires come from, why they terrify us, and how they became the sexy, brooding icons of pop culture.

Whether you're team Dracula, team Edward, or just into weird vampire facts, this episode serves up history, horror, and a hearty bite of humor.

🧛‍♂️ Grab your garlic and settle in—the Night Crew is clocking in.
