The Bleeding Margin Podcast: Interview with Author Romina Garber

In this episode of The Bleeding Margin podcast, we sit down with acclaimed author Romina Garber to discuss her newest novel, The Last Vampire. Garber takes us deep into her creative process—from constructing fully realized universes before she ever writes a character, to reshaping vampire mythology, to exploring themes of identity, belonging, and otherness that echo across her work.

We talk about her decade-long journey through rejection, how real-world politics often seed her stories, her love of literature (yes, Austen fans—there’s something here for you), and why she believes no written word is ever wasted. It’s an insightful, wide-ranging conversation for readers of fantasy, YA, paranormal romance, and literary horror alike.

Many thanks to Books&Books and the Miami Book Fair for helping us to facilitate this interview!
