This Pivot traces the rise of the so-called "vegetarian" vampire in
popular culture and contemporary vampire fiction, while also
exploring how the shift in the diet of (some) vampires, from human
to animal or synthetic blood, responds to a growing ecological
awareness that is rapidly reshaping our understanding of relations
with others species. The book introduces the trope of the
vegetarian vampire, as well as important critical contexts for its
discussion: the Anthropocene, food studies, and the modern
practice, politics and ideologies of vegetarianism. Drawing on
references to recent historical contexts and developments in the
genre more broadly, the book investigates the vegetarian vampire's
relationship to other more violent and monstrous forms of the
vampire in popular twenty-first century horror cinema and
television. Texts discussed include Interview with the Vampire,
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Twilight, The Vampire Diaries and True
Blood. Reading the Vegetarian Vampire examines a new aspect of
contemporary interest in considering vampire fiction.
