From 18th Century poetry up to modern 3D cinema, the vampire has
developed a genre in its own right. Leaving behind its roots in
phantasmagoria and horror, taking in romance, action and adventure,
as well as flights of science fiction fantasy and political
allegory. The vampire is a part of all these fields of artistry and
beyond them, a melting pot of imagination and invention that has
captivated audiences around the world. In the first part of this
volume, Andrew M. Boylan - author of the famous vampire blog
Taliesin Meets the Vampires, looks at the genesis of the vampire
genre from Ossenfelder's poem Der Vampir to Bram Stoker's seminal
novel Dracula. The second part of the book spreads eclectically out
from Dracula, just as the genre spread, taking in some famous
kissing cousins of the genre as well as looking at the vampire's
changing relationship with the divine and following the toothsome
bloodsuckers out into space.
