What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I adore Grady Hendrix, especially his epic vampire story, so I enjoyed every episode. Queen of the Damned moved me the most because I started my vampire obsession with Anne Rice’s books and I lived through the horror of this country’s nonresponse to the AIDS epidemic.

Amoscrts · Dec 2024

Informative, well researched, fascinating and at times freaking hilarious. I love Grady Hendrix’s sense of humor and it’s on display here in all its glory, but he also shows his serious and heartfelt side as well. This was a blast and wish there were more!

Matthew_the_bookworm · Sep 2024

Have you been feeling the stress of wasting your precious isolation time staring out windows and wandering from room to room wondering why every dish in the house is dirty AGAIN TODAY, when you PROMISED yourself you would take this time to acquire a skill or read a book, but a strange lassitude has made it impossible to push your eyes to take in word after word on a printed page, and baking bread is a bridge too far? Take heart! Grady Hendrix’s new podcast will stuff highly spiced vampire lore into your eager ears like a ghastly goulash into a hungry Hungarian. Join Grady on a whirlwind trip around the world to uncover More Than Ten Loathesome Undead Facts You’re Pretty Sure You’ll Never Use At Thanksgiving Dinner. (Unless you’re in my family.) If you’ve been missing the charming snark of Grady’s early work (Satan Loves You, Tales of the White Street Society) or the fast-paced funhouse descent into smothering evil that can be enjoyed with only a spoonful of the bitter medicine of hard life lessons (Horrorstör), you’ll be delighted and fascinated by this podcast. Anyone who has attended any of Grady’s live events knows he’s a hilarious wag, so pour yourself a copita of AB-, or of that wine you claim you never drink, and get ready to have your mind improved without any need for drudgery, ‘cause Grady’s gonna larn ya ‘bout them vampires. And you’re gonna like it.

Rhinestone Romey the · Mar 2023

Grady Hendrix is hilarious and terrifying! I’m obsessed with his books and now his podcast. He’s timely, accurate, relatable and vintage in all the best ways. I feel like you either get him or you don’t, and if you don’t I’m so sorry! Iconic!
