Human imagination is saturated with monsters. They represent, in a
number of ways, those that have been historically perceived as
strangers to the human community. It is a game of alterities
wherein female monsters have occupied a particularly relevant
position. Women have been historically represented as the Other in
this human/nonhuman dyad. In the present study nineteenth- and
twentieth-century vampires' and zombies' narratives have guided the
analysis of a contemporary neo-gothic artefact: Anita Blake:
Vampire Hunter by Laurell K. Hamilton. This book argues at the
intersection of feminist literary analysis and cultural studies
methodology, and it also considers queer notions of fluidity and
performativity. The author sets out that Anita Blake: Vampire
Hunter represents a twenty-first-century series questioning social
norms and envisioning worlds of freedom.
