Reviews

“Regardless of the legitimacy of the vampire as atheist reading, Wilkins has produced an interesting study that should be of interest to vampire scholars and others studying the shifting ways in which the vampire is understood and how this monstrous figure reflects our fears, sense of identity, and changing relationship to institutionalized religion.” (John W. Morehead, Journal of Vampire Studies, Vol. 4, 2024)
