And so we come to the final episode of this dramatic tale inspired by the urban landscape and macabre folklore of my native southside of Glasgow, a story I've wanted to perform and record like this ever since I first performed it live in the theatre at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival way back in 2015, a story I was intent on performing, then as now, in an unequivocal, unapologetic Glaswegian voice and language. I hope with this, and the preceding episodes, I have done my native city full dramatic justice, in my own macabre sort of a way.
Our young narrator has looked set to suffer the most terrible yet of all the many cruelties the Vampire has inflicted on him, having to stand by and watch as the Vampire sinks his iron teeth into the throat of his ailing mother on her sick bed. But maybe our protagonist has more fight in him than even he had thought, fight enough to challenge the Vampire at last - to take him on in a fight to the death. The Gorbals Vampire Must Be Destroyed!
