Join us at the Internationalist in welcoming gay vampire novelist Damian Serbu!

Damian Serbu lives in the Chicago area with his partner of seventeen years and two dogs. After earning a Ph.D. in history (2001), he now teaches at the collegiate level. His love for vampires – and all things horrific – fused together with his academic training to inspire his first novel, The Vampire’s Angel. A childhood nightmare led to his second novel, Secrets in the Attic, forthcoming summer 2010.

This spring, the Internationalist will host a series of skillshares every Thursday!
