She’s been called Canada’s answer to Anne Rice, hailed as the queen of the undead, and praised by some of the biggest names in horror. Brian Lumley, Tanith Lee, and Poppy Z. Brite have all weighed in on Nancy Kilpatrick’s prolific career as a horror author who deals largely in vampire fiction. We’ve heard plenty of applause from Kilpatrick’s critics and peers – but what about the vampires themselves?

On Wednesday, October 31, join Kilpatrick for her very own interview with a vampire at the launch of Vampyric Variations. This latest short fiction collection that promises to unlock the crypt's door to reveal humanity’s favorite predator as never before. Kilpatrick’s vampyric host and interview will be none other than Dora-award winning actor Julian Richings (HARD CORE LOGO, KINGDOM HOSPITAL).

Cellist Kitty Thompson of Canadian band Johnny Hollow will be providing beautifully brooding soundscapes throughout the evening and guests who are interested in a bite to eat, can get “bitten” at a vampire kissing booth.
