Rod Ferrell, a troubled teen who believed he was a vampire, led a cult of misfits from the shadows of small-town Kentucky to a blood-soaked Florida murder scene. In this episode, we trace the dark road that led from childhood trauma and mythic obsession to the brutal killing of two parents, and we wrestle with the chilling question: when does fantasy become a manifesto? Join me as we peel back the layers of this tragic true crime story and ponder the line between monster and man.
