The Global Vampire : Essays on the Undead in Popular Culture Around the World Paperback / softback
Edited by Cait Coker
Part of the Critical Explorations in Science Fiction and Fantasy series
Paperback / softback
Description
The media vampire has roots throughout the world, far beyond the shores of the usual Dracula-inspired Anglo-American archetypes.
Depending on text and context, the vampire is a figure of anxiety and comfort, humor and fear, desire and revulsion.
These dichotomies gesture the enduring prevalence of the vampire in mass culture; it can no longer articulate a single feeling or response, bound by time and geography, but is many things to many people.
With a global perspective, this collection of essays offers something new and different: a much needed counter-narrative of the vampire's evolution in popular culture.
Divided by geography, this text emphasizes the vampiric as a globetrotting citizen du monde rather than an isolated monster.
