Bloody Desperate Housewives: The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires

What would you do if you were a bored Southern housewife in a book club that focused on true crime, horror and murder, in addition to drinking wine and eating lots of snacks? What would you do if your boring doctor husband and bratty, dysfunctional kids befriended the strange new guy who moved in just next door? What would you do if the strange new guy started showing up at your house around dinnertime and was always invited in for fried chicken, roast potatoes, chocolate cake and ice cream? What if his strange behavior around young women, and toward you, made you suddenly suspect he was a vampire? What if you tried to tell your family and book club friends about his bloodthirsty proclivities and were reviled and called a liar? You'd be pretty pissed off and would want to stop cooking things like cheese straws, frozen salads, casseroles and Swedish meatballs, and would probably want to find a way to slay this bloodsucking bastard, right? We're discussing these tastily terrifying questions and analyzing the connection between food and horror in Grady Hendrix's 2020 darkly humorous novel The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires, so please join us!
