Growing Up with Vampires is the first book to focus solely on the
figure of the vampire in print, film, and other media specifically
meant for pre-teen children. Whilst narratives about the undead are
often considered suitable only for adults, there is a long history
of their appearance in material meant for children. Although the
essays in this collection mainly consider examples from Western
culture in the 20th and 21st centuries they provide an important
and accessible roadmap of when vampires became popular in
children's media, how to explore the ways in which vampires are
used, what they might symbolize, and what their ultimate meaning or
significance might be. Vampires are never what they quite seem: in
stories for children they are just as likely to be an expression of
anxiety around change, growing up, aging and the unfamiliar as they
are to be the new best friend who will make you realize just how
special difference and individuality are. Growing Up with Vampires
is an ideal introduction for those new to the topic and an
invaluable resource to readers looking to gain further insight into
vampires in/and children's media.
