Postmodern Vampires: Film, Fiction, and Popular Culture is the
first major study to focus on American cultural history from the
vampire's point of view. Beginning in 1968, Ni Fhlainn argues that
vampires move from the margins to the centre of popular culture as
representatives of the anxieties and aspirations of their age.
Mapping their literary and screen evolution on to the American
Presidency, from Richard Nixon to Donald Trump, this essential
critical study chronicles the vampire's blood-ties to distinct
socio-political movements and cultural decades in the late
twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Through case studies of
key texts, including Interview with the Vampire, The Lost Boys,
Blade, Twilight, Let Me In, True Blood and numerous adaptations of
Dracula, this book reveals how vampires continue to be exemplary
barometers of political and historical change in the American
imagination. It is essential reading for scholars and students in
Gothic and Horror Studies, Film Studies, and American Studies, and
for anyone interested in the articulate undead.
