Description

Explore the evolution of the vampire through a deep critical lens in this academic study from Routledge. Moving beyond the traditional folkloristic view of the immortal undead, this book examines the emergence of the "new vampire" as a significant literary trope. Piatti-Farnell provides a detailed analysis of how these characters function within modern stories to reflect contemporary cultural preoccupations, anxieties, and desires. This work is designed for students, researchers, and scholars interested in how popular fiction engages with complex social themes. By looking at prominent examples from modern vampire literature, the text demonstrates how these figures are re-worked to fit current cultural contexts. It offers a fresh way to understand the shift from old myths to the modern iterations found in today's most popular books.
