On this special edition of (SPF 1000) Vampire Sunscreen, recorded live at Laguna Gloria, artist and musician Thor Harris talks about the importance of empathy and creating art...and the insight of those who've gone to hell and back.

John Doe: There Was Also Nathaniel West

In (SPF 1000) Vampire Sunscreen host Laurie Gallardo simply asks one question of her guests: What is the darkness to you? Or, what is dark to you?

The conversations that arise from this range from heartbreaking to inspiring, and get to the heart of the guests’ personal philosophies, internal struggles, and creative journeys.

In having these conversations, Laurie hopes to inspire listeners to reflect on their own experiences with darkness, and perhaps connect to others on their own journey.  Vampire Sunscreen is supported by The VORTEX, host of the Bloody Ball: A Vampyre Soiree, Saturday, October 18th
