This unique study explores the vampire as host and guest, captor
and hostage: a perfect lover and force of seductive predation. From
Dracula and Carmilla, to True Blood and The Originals, the figure
of the vampire embodies taboos and desires about hospitality, rape
and consent. The first section welcomes the reader into ominous
spaces of home, examining the vampire through concepts of
hospitality and power, the metaphor of threshold, and the blurred
boundaries between visitation, invasion and confinement. Section
two reflects upon the historical development of vampire narratives
and the monster as oppressed, alienated Other. Section three
discusses cultural anxieties of youth, (im)maturity, childhood
agency, abuse and the age of consent. The final section addresses
vampire as intimate partner, mapping boundaries between invitation,
passion and coercion. With its fresh insight into vampire genre,
this book will appeal to academics, students and general public
alike.
