Reviews
Presents a multitude of perspectives and analyses ... . Each writer has a unique outlook with extremely well-supported arguments, with some thought-provoking discussion that stays with you when consuming vampire fiction. A range of texts are analysed, from literature to film to television shows, covering a wide variety of classic and contemporary fiction. The essays all build on previously made points regarding literary vampirism, without rehashing old debates. All-in-all, this volume is a refreshing and provocative read. (Robin Moon, Journal of Vampire Studies, Vol. 2 (1), 2021) With its fresh insight into vampire genre, this book will appeal to academics, students and general public alike. ... this proves itself a worthy edition to vampire studies by looking at hospitality (and, of course, invitations), rape and consent and how the vampire film/story examines and explores those concepts.
