This book begins at the intersection of Dracula and War of the
Worlds, both published in 1897 London, and describes the settings
of Transylvania, Mars, and London as worlds linked by the body of
the vampire. It explores the "vampire from another world" in all
its various forms, as a manifestation of not just our anxieties
around alien others, but also our alien selves. Unsurprisingly,
many of the tropes these novels generated and particularly the
themes they have in common have been used and adapted by vampire
narratives that followed. From Nosferatu to Alien, Interstellar,
Stranger Things, and many others, this book examines how these
narratives have evolved since the end of the nineteenth century.
Bringing together texts and films from across the 19th, 20th, and
21st centuries, from the far reaches of outer space and the distant
future, it concludes that the unexpected and the unknown are not
always to be feared, and that humanity does have the power to write
its own future.
