A comprehensive anthology of vampires in literature, from Dracula
to Twilight. Christopher Frayling has spent 50 years exploring the
history of one of the most enduring figures in the history of mass
culture - the vampire. Vampyres is a comprehensive illustrated
history of vampires in literature, from the folklore of Eastern
Europe to the Romantics and beyond. Frayling recounts the most
significant moments in Gothic history, while extracts from a huge
range of sources - including Bram Stoker's detailed research notes
for Dracula, penny-dreadfuls and Angela Carter's The Lady of the
House of Love, are contextualized and analysed. This revised and
expanded edition brings Vampyres up to date with 21st-century
vampire literature, including new text extracts, commentary and a
revised introduction. Christopher Frayling also explores the
development of the vampire in the visual arts, with illustrations
ranging from 17th-century prints to 21st-century film stills,
demonstrating the enduring appeal of the vampire from popular press
to fine art and, finally, to film.
