Southbury Public Library Presents 'The Allure Of Vampires'

Press release from the Southbury Public Library:

9/18/2025

On Friday, October 24, 2025 from 2-3:30pm on Zoom and streamed to our Kingsley Room, join us for a virtual program and learn more about vampires.

Vampire stories have captivated people for centuries. Books, games, TV, and film have drawn audiences in with a mix of horror, sensuality, and the appeal of eternal life. But why have the tales of the undead endured? And what makes them so appealing in the modern day? This program explores the ongoing allure of these powerful creatures.

Led by Dr. Bill Thierfelder, a retired college professor who taught a variety of Arts and Humanities courses for 32 years at several New York universities and colleges, including St. John's University and Dowling College. He holds a Ph.D. in English, with minors in theater, art history and music history.

Like all Southbury Public Library programs, this program is free to attend and open to anyone regardless of town of residency. This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Southbury Public Library. Registration is required. Zoom invitation links will be sent via email on the day of the program.
