#RyanCoogler’s vampire epic #Sinners may be the latest box office sensation, but its roots run deep—drawing from generations of literary tradition, cinematic history, and oral storytelling. “In the hands of Black creators, the vampire archetype becomes more than a predator; it is an archivist of pain, a sensual being forged—but never fully defined—by relentless violence,” writes Martine Thompson. “It symbolizes what it means to exist forever in a world that was never built to see you—and to demand to be seen anyway.” Tap the link in bio for more on the rich tradition of Black vampire stories.
