About

Vampires are symbols of the ruling class. In Karl Marx’s Capital and Bob Marley’s “Babylon System” they make visible the extraction of surplus-value. The new novel Thirst by writer/activist, Nicholas Powers renews the vampire genre by placing politics, race, and resistance to fascism at its heart, with a stake driven through it.
