OMG, Maven of the Eventide interviews Kim Newman! This is like Goth Christmas! **fangirl scream**
"No book called Interview With a Werewolf" I'll have to take that challenge, good sir...
please replicate the inherent homoeroticism by having characters sniff each other's butts
Could be fun, also love your username!
OMG, this was outstanding. I've never heard Kim Newman speak, and he is absolutely delightful. Being able to watch the two of you Gothic Lit experts in conversation was WONDERFUL. Thanks for this!
Newman is always incisive and articulate, always worth listening to his interviews. I met him a couple of times (we used to go to the same bookshops), and a long time ago he responded to the fan letter I sent after first reading 'Anno Dracula' with a print-out of his latest Anno Dracula short story, months before it was actually published..! Nice man.
I really have to say, that you became my favorite RUclipsr.
Greetings from Germany
Me too! Maven is my favorite RUclipsr. There are so many good videos I feel like it's a buffet for my mind! LOL! My "Watch Later" list is always filled with good content because of Maven. :)
I was first introduced to Kim in several horror film documentaries and he was always one of the highlights. His soundbites were usually hysterical.
I've waited for this interview forever! Kim Newman is a literary god and this conversation was engrossing. Thank you.
I grew up reading this man's column in Empire, this week I started Anno Dracula. Now half way through and LOVE IT!
The man is a genius
Excellent! Maven, you are a fantastic interviewer. (and a very dark horse for keeping quiet about this in the last livestream). That was a very enjoyable 56 minutes and I know I'll listen to this interview again in the future.
This was awesome. You get the best people to interview they always seem so honest and happy to be there. Would I write a book with vampires just to maybe be interviewed by Elisa? No.... But it wouldn't hurt.
Hey Maven, first of all, I just love the interview with Kim. I am just curious did you get that gorgeous black onyx ring from Barnabas?
It looks like it, right?? I actually happened to get it right around the time when I did my video on Dark Shadows several years ago, and it felt like kismet. I've kept it ever since.
I've not read his books but known about Newman for a long time as here in the UK his critique is very well known, especially when it comes to the world of the fantastique. I love hearing what he has to say about classic Doctor Who.
Great interview. Fantastic content. What can I say other than “WOW”. So much information to process. Amazing.
I love this interview , its such gold. Thank you.❤❤
That was an outstanding interview! I'm a huge fan of the Anno Dracula series.
it's a fascinating fictional universe. i'm a fan of particularly the first couple of books. however, starting with "johnny alucard" it seemed to me that the series lost the energy that it had earlier: each segment of "johhny alucard"deserved a novel of it's own, per each decade that it's set in, some of the internal lore is cobtradictory (such as shape-shifting) and the volume set in 1896, after dracula was deposed, still has him on the throne... my belief was that some canonic lore would be observed, with references to the characters and concepts that made each decade from 1885 to 2000 famous, but the canon is not thus observed for some reason.
two gothic vampire nerds, i love it
Great interview, thanks. :)
I enjoyed his book Anno Dracula (and other works) being of the same age and picked up all the cultural references only a viewer of 60s/70s British TV would recognise, e.g. Adam Adamant, Raffles, Sexton Blake. Late Victorian era/Edwardian decade were rich in fantasy & adventure epics, which explains why Walt Disney was obsessed with England and it shows in his feature-length cartoons & live action epics. KN pours forth here, a challenge for interviewers unless they share in the genre.
YAYAYAYA reviews and interviews!!
I’ve been waiting for this one! Eeeep.
I like how authors use Vampires as discussion pieces for certain topics. For me, I always wanted to write a vampire novel but didn't know how to approach it until an idea popped into my head out of the blue. Now I am committed to making a piece of Vampire fiction where I am writing as disturbing, dark, and terrifying as can be because I want to write a Vampire story that will scare me as an adult. The more I write the darker, the eviler, and more disturbing the Vampires that I'm writing become.
Were you slightly anxious at the start of this? If so, you powered through it, and although I’ve no right to be, as I don’t know you, I am still damn proud. Bloody good interview.
wonderful stuff. 😊
I kept wondering where I knew this author, and I finally figured it out. He wrote The McCarthy Witch Hunt. That’s a short story where Samantha is actually being investigated for witchcraft.
Well this is an amazing surprise!
love u and your videos ❤️❤️❤️
This is soooooooo good
What a treat!
When can we expect her next book
Engagement!
My god she's beautiful and gorgeous my god I would love to talk to her about Dracula Ever single day
"Dracula Cha Cha Cha" by Kim Newman, is a good book.
I ❤️ Maven so awesome and beautiful
Today I learned how to pronounce corollary. It's not how I thought.
As an aside, Patton Oswalt's origin story is that he saw Nosferatu as a very small child and wanted to have that impact from the other side of the moving image.
Radu, eh? "Eeeh Michelle?"
It's been years since I last watched her stuff, but I still associate that name with Allison Pregler's reviews.
Eyyyy
Interview by a Vampire.
Wow
If vampires are killing people to live, it seems like it WOULD be ok to kill them. Also, Dracula did seem to lose his soul, as well as Lucy when she turned. They clearly did lose their moral capacity, but not their intellect. Thats why Dracula was such a threat.
plus the baby-eating
54:26 Are you trying to tell me that "YOU" are not a "REAL VAMPIRE?" I am SO disappointed.
I never heard of this writer
Now you have ;-)
Very plain menial first question, but Mr newman lit up
Vampires are cool
But they are all kinda the same.
Any good books?
Next time you should have a real life vampire on im very disappointed
