This book provides an engaging historical survey of the vampire in
American popular culture over 100 years, ranging from Bram Stoker's
classic novel Dracula to HBO's television series True Blood.
Vampires in the New World surveys vampire films and literature from
both national and historical perspectives since the publication of
Bram Stoker's Dracula, providing an overview of the changing figure
of the vampire in America. It focuses on such essential popular
culture topics as pulp fiction, classic horror films, film noir,
science fiction, horror fiction, blaxploitation, and the recent
Twilight and True Blood series in order to demonstrate how
cultural, scientific, and ideological trends are reflected and
refracted through the figure of the vampire. The book will
fascinate anyone with an interest in vampires as they are found in
literature, film, television, and popular culture, as well as
readers who appreciate horror and supernatural fiction, crime
fiction, science fiction, and the gothic. It will also appeal to
those who are interested in the interplay between society and film,
television, and popular culture, and to readers who want to
understand why the figure of the vampire has remained compelling to
us across different eras and generations.
