ADVANCE PRAISE FOR GENDER IN THE VAMPIRE NARRATIVE
“The haunting durability of the vampire in popular culture attests to our enduring fascination with the undead as well as the figure’s rich and dynamic complexity. Amanda Hobson and U. Melissa Anyiwo have brought together a diverse and far-ranging collection of essays that chase the vampire through history and across literature, film, television, and stage, exploring this complexity and offering insightful and accessible analyses that will be enjoyed by students in popular culture, gender studies, and speculative fiction. Authors pay homage to the classics – from Bram Stoker to Buffy the Vampire Slayer – but push consideration of the vampire in new directions as well, from graphic novels to the Vegas stage, interrogating the vampire’s presence and influence across multiple spheres of cultural production, always with a keen eye on gender and sexuality. This collection is not to be missed by those with an interest in feminist cultural studies – or the undead.” – Barbara Gurr, Associate Professor of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, University of Connecticut, and Author of Race, Gender and Sexuality in Post-Apocalyp
