Biography

Recognized as an international authority on the horror genre, vampires, and Monster Theory, John Edgar Browning (Ph.D., SUNY-Buffalo) has appeared as an expert on documentary TV programs like National Geographic's Taboo USA (2013), Discovery Channel's William Shatner's Weird or What? (2010), AMC Visionaries: Eli Roth's History of Horror (2018), Ripley's Believe It or Notcast (2019), BBC Radio, and History Channel's The UnXplained (2020) hosted by William Shatner. A university educator for the last 15 years, he is now Professor of Liberal Arts at the Savannah College of Art and Design (Atlanta campus).

Additionally, he spent five years in the field in New Orleans, LA and Buffalo, NY conducting ethnographic studies of people who self-identify as vampire, a project he elaborated on in his doctoral dissertation, "Redeeming the Un-Dead in American Media and Culture Before 9/11," as well as in articles for Palgrave Communications, The Atlantic, Conversation (UK), and Discover Magazine. He has also since been interviewed about his research by the BBC and BBC Radio, The Washington Post, Discover Magazine's "It's Only Science" podcast, VICE: Broadly, Hack Circus Magazine, The Buffalo News, and many others, joining only a handful of experts in the field worldwide. Today, he remains in regular contact with a number of real vampire communities all over the world.
