Richmond, Va.– The vampire frenzy that’s sweeping the nation has hit Virginia Commonwealth University. The university is offering a class through the Department of English that deals with “Vampire Literature.”
The class reads and sees films such as “Twilight,” “Interview with the Vampire,” and “Buffy, the Vampire Slayer.”
John Brinegar, a VCU English Professor, said he want students not only to walk away with better knowledge of the literature but also the differences between movies and books.
“What really got me interested in doing this course was I was interested in finding out why is there such an explosion of vampire stuff right now,” Brinegar said.
Brinegar hopes to teach the class again next semester.
