This book offers a unique argument for the emergence of a post-9/11
vampire that showcases changing perspectives on identity and
religion in American culture, offering a look at how cultural
narratives can be used to work through trauma. Cultural narratives
have long played a valuable role in mediating difficult and
politically sensitive topics. Christina Wilkins addresses how the
figure of the vampire is used in modern narratives and how it has
changed from previous incarnations, particularly in American
narratives. The vampire has been a cultural staple for centuries
but the current conception of the figure has been arguably
Americanized with the rise of the modern American vampire
coinciding with the aftermath of 9/11. Wilkins investigates changes
evident in cultural representations, and how they effectively
mediate the altered approach to issues of trauma and identity. By
investing metaphorical tropes with cultural significance, the book
offers audiences the opportunity to consider new perspectives and
prompt important discussions while also illuminating changes in
societal attitudes.
