The media vampire has roots throughout the world, far beyond the
shores of the usual Dracula-inspired Anglo-American archetypes.
Depending on text and context, the vampire is a figure of anxiety
and comfort, humor and fear, desire and revulsion. These
dichotomies gesture the enduring prevalence of the vampire in mass
culture; it can no longer articulate a single feeling or response,
bound by time and geography, but is many things to many people.
With a global perspective, this collection of essays offers
something new and different: a much needed counter-narrative of the
vampire's evolution in popular culture. Divided by geography, this
text emphasizes the vampiric as a globetrotting citizen du monde
rather than an isolated monster.
