The End Of All Things
S1 E6:
Death is a frightening, unsettling prospect for us all. Myths and legends help express and explore those anxieties. But they tell us about more than mortal fear alone, for in a culture's tales of death, we can see what it is they value in life. In this final episode, we examine our enduring fascination with the undead, tracing the history of the vampire back to its roots in Eastern Europe.
