Vampires in the lemon grove sparknotes5/23/2023 ![]() ![]() While in town, Clyde runs into Fila and loses control, feeding on her to the point that he kills her. As time passes, Clyde and Magreb are no longer able to slake their thirst or cure their hunger with lemons. Only the 17-year-old girl, Fila, who runs the produce stand at the lemon grove knows that Clyde is a vampire. Having learned they do not need human blood to survive, and having learned that most information about themselves (such as having to sleep during the day) is mere rumor, Clyde and Magreb have reformed their lives by seeking out food sources other than human blood. In the title story, “Vampires in the Lemon Grove”, Clyde and his wife, Magreb, both vampires, dwell in Italy where they feast on lemons. The short stories alternately share common themes of horror, death, nature, theft, and the past. “Vampires in the Lemon Grove” is a collection of eight contemporary and historic short stories by Karen Russell. ![]()
