Dracula in the Dark : The Dracula Film Adaptations Hardback
by James Craig Holte
Part of the Contributions to the Study of Science Fiction and Fantasy series
Hardback
Description
One hundred years after his creation by Bram Stoker, Dracula is still fascinating us.
This study traces the changing nature of film representations of Dracula, from the early silent adaptations to recent popular dramas.
Holte suggests that vampire films and Dracula adaptations have become an independent genre, the dark romance, with its own set of narrative conventions and audience expectations combining horror and eroticism.
This engaging study provides readers with a natural history of the vampire, an examination of the work of Bram Stoker, a history and analysis of many film adaptations of Dracula, a survey of contemporary criticism and theory, and an extensive annotated bibliography of vampire film, fiction, and criticism.
