In our last episode we talked about the opulence of Goth–Gothic architecture, fashion, and art of all kinds–and the connection between this and the opulence of the Visigoths and their vast state treasure plundered from Roman cities and towns.
But there’s more to Goth than plunder. There’s a romance to Goth. A dark romance steeped in obsession. Many of the original Gothic romances involve tragic deaths.
And what else do we know of that combines sex and death? That’s right: vampires. And it’s in ancient vampire mythology where we’ll attempt to uncover a nefarious connection to the Ostrogoths.
