Blood Read: The Vampire as Metaphor in Contemporary Culture Paperback - 1997
by Joan Gordon (Editor); Veronica Hollinger (Editor); Contribution by Brian Aldiss
Over the past century the figure of the vampire has undergone many transformations--from Bram Stoker's original Dracula to Anne Rice's VAMPIRE CHRONICLES. BLOOD READ examines a wide range of vampire narratives from the perspective of both writers and scholars and shows how these transformations reflect ongoing changes in postmodern culture.
First line
Un ambiguously coded figure, a source of both erotic anxiety and corrupt desire, the literary vampire is one of the most powerful archetypes bequeathed to us from the imagination of the nineteenth century.
