Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Vampire Tales | Nick Groom

Dracula isn't the beginning of the vampire story. Oxford Academic's August upload, "Vampire Tales | Nick Groom", explores the literary creatures that came before Bram Stoker's famous count, from aristocratic bloodsuckers to invisible and psychic vampires.

With no new uploads this week, that anthology introduction offers a particularly varied corner of Oxford University Press's archive. Groom's collection includes writing by Lord Byron, John William Polidori, Mary Elizabeth Braddon and Rudyard Kipling, tracing how much Romantic and Victorian authors could do with the same unsettling idea.

It shares the strongest daily momentum among the featured videos with "Marques L. A. Garrett – The Lesson | Score Video | SATB". Here the subject is music's capacity to bring comfort: Garrett sets a poem by Paul Laurence Dunbar for unaccompanied mixed voices, performed by London Voices, while viewers can follow the score.

The channel added about 47,000 views across its library, with subscribers unchanged. Its current daily viewing pace is below its usual level, and it had a smaller weekly viewing total than nearby education channels such as Study Hall and Peterson Academy.

For a more practical academic catch-up, "Interview with the Editors of FPA | Submit to Foreign Policy Analysis" brings Barış Kesgin, Sibel Oktay and Leslie Wehner together to discuss peer review, emerging research approaches and what they look for in a manuscript.
