Paul Bibeau writes to tell CvilleWords fans of an upcoming event:
Mid June marks the birth of two of your favorite monsters. Its the anniversary of the famous weekend at Lake Geneva which saw the birth of both Shelley’s Frankenstein and Polidori’s The Vampyre, which launched the Victorian vampire tradition. We will celebrate this weird date with a joint Frankenstein-Dracula mashup at the Fountain Bookstore at June 16, 2008 at 6:30 p.m.
Paul Bibeau, author of funny vamp book Sundays with Vlad, and Susan Tyler Hitchcock, author of Frankenstein: A Cultural History will have a funny, freewheeling discussion on fame, creativity, monsters, and myth-making.
Fountain is located at 1312 E. Cary St., Richmond. Hitchcock and Bibeau have both appeared there, and are excited to be back. For more info contact the bookstore, or email paulbibeau@gmail.com.
You might remember Bibeau and Hitchcock from this year’s Festival of the Book. This should be a presentation well worth traveling for.
