Reviews

""This book is an important and useful review of the figure of Dracula in popular culture, applying a fascinating combination of historicism and psychoanalysis to many diverse examples of the character's portrayal. This work reflects both cultural and societal shifts in representations of Dracula over time, making space for the application of vital contemporary contexts such as queer theory and versions of the 'Dracula' character in forms of media beyond cinema itself.""--Diane A.
