'Salem's Lot with Bryan Fuller

Episode 23,   Sep 16, 2020, 11:00 AM

Hannibal mastermind Bryan Fuller is our guest this week and he picked Stephen King's second novel, 'Salem's Lot for many reasons, not the least of which is because his Scout Leader turned out to be a serial killer. Fuller brings his unique perspective to this story about the hidden evils of small town America and how his queer reading of some of the book's themes helped him survive adolescence as a gay kid in a town unfriendly to anything "other."

Bryan Fuller leads this discussion about one of the most important books in King's bibliography. From Vampires to queer coding in classic Universal monster movies to small town serial killers, this conversation is all over the map.
