While vampire stories have been part of popular culture since the beginning of the nineteenth century, it has been in recent decades that they have become a central part of American culture. Vampire Legends in Contemporary American Culture looks at how vampire stories—from Bram Stoker's Dracula to Blacula, from Bela Lugosi's films to Love at First Bite—have become part of our ongoing debate about what it means to be human. William Patrick Day looks at how writers and filmmakers as diverse as Anne Rice and Andy Warhol present the vampire as an archetype of human identity, as well as how many post-modern vampire stories reflect our fear and attraction to stories of addiction and violence. He argues that contemporary stories use the character of Dracula to explore modern values, and that stories of vampire slayers, such as the popular television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, integrate current feminist ideas and the image of the Vietnam veteran into a new heroic version of the vampire story.

The author of Drawing Down the Moon offers a "literate, imaginative, and just plain fascinating” exploration of the enduring allure of vampires (Whitley Strieber, author of The Hunger). Author and NPR correspondent Margot Adler found herself newly drawn to vampire novels while sitting vigil at her dying husband’s bedside. Intrigued by the way this ever-evolving myth lets us contemplate mortality, she embarked on a years-long journey of reading hundreds vampire novels—from teen to adult, from gothic to modern, from detective to comic. She began to see just how each era creates the vampires it needs. Dracula, an Eastern European monster, was the perfect vehicle for 19th-century England’s fear of outsiders and of disease seeping in through its large ports. In 1960s America, the television show Dark Shadows gave us the morally conflicted vampire struggling against his own predatory nature, who still enthralls us today. From Bram Stoker to Ann Rice; from vampire detective thrillers to lesbian vampire fiction; and from Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Twilight and True Blood, Vampires Are Us explores the issues of power, politics, morality, identity, and even the fate of the planet that show up in vampire novels today. Perhaps, Adler suggests, our blood is oil, perhaps our prey is the planet. Perhaps vampires are us.

Written across the disciplines of art history, literature, philosophy, sociology, and theology, the ten essays comprising the collection all insist on multidimensional definitions of evil. Taking its title from a moment in Shakespeare’s Tempest when Prospero acknowledges his responsibility for Caliban, this collection explores the necessarily ambivalent relationship between humanity and evil. To what extent are a given society’s definitions of evil self-serving? Which figures are marginalized in the process of identifying evil? How is humanity itself implicated in the production of evil? Is evil itself something fundamentally human? These questions, indicative of the kinds of issues raised in this collection, seem all the more pressing in light of recent world events. The ten essays were originally presented at the First Global Conference on Perspectives on Evil and Human Wickedness, held in March 2000 in Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford University.

Who would suspect that the same mind that created the most famous literary detective of all time also took on the eternally popular genre of vampires? Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a contemporary of Bram Stoker, gave us some fascinating works of vampire fiction. From the bloodsucking plant in “The American’s Tale” to the bloodsucking wife in “The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire,” he reveled in the horror created by creatures who survived on the blood of men and women. As the bestselling Twilight series has dominated bookstores, it’s the perfect time to offer the first-ever compilation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s vampire tales. Get ready to sink your teeth into this heart-stopping anthology. Each of these twelve short stories has been pulled from obscurity and hand selected for this collection. Conan Doyle’s famous friendship with vampire king Bram Stoker is thought to have influenced these many blood-sucking tales, including “The Captain of the Pole Star,” about a medical student on an arctic voyage haunted by a heat-draining Eskimo vampire and “The Three Gables,” in which vampirism is cunningly used as a metaphor for capitalism. Featuring an introduction by world-renowned vampire expert, Robert Eighteen-Bisang, this is a must-have anthology for all vampire lovers, and for any Arthur Conan Doyle enthusiast.

"Blood and Black Roses: A Dark Bouquet of Vampires, Romance and Horror" is an arrangement of six intriguing stories of blood and romantic horror. These stories are dark fantasies in which the protagonists are all strong women and the vampire is portrayed as a darkly romantic figure. In classic style, the real villains always get their just deserts. It includes the following: Blood and Money: The Vampire and the Robber Blood on the Stage: The Vampire and the Stalking Victim Blood and Linen: The Vampire and the Runaway Wife Blood and Black Lace: The Vampire and the Call Girl Blood and Stilettos: The Diary of a Vampire Stripper Blood and Cashmere: The Vampire and the Rich Girl Blood and Money: The Vampire and the Robber - Two desperate women rob a bank, but things don't go as planned and they end up in a creepy old mansion with a vampire.

As her life becomes increasingly miserable and terrifying, she finds an escape by attending a stage play about vampires called "Blood and Stilettos." She falls in love with the actor who plays the lead role and begins to fantasize that she is the story's heroine. Blood on the Stage might be called "psychological horror" because of the way the protagonist questions her own perceptions and state of mind. Blood and Linen: The Vampire and the Runaway Wife - A lonely woman who is married to an increasingly sadistic husband, makes her escape late one night down a dark and lonely road. At the end, she encounters a darkly handsome, mysterious man who helps her re-claim herself. Blood and Black Lace: The Vampire and the Call Girl - A high class call girl gets the call of her life. Unravel the mystery as you learn about her life and her ultimate fate! Blood and Cashmere: The Vampire and the Rich Girl - Chloe was born into a family of bloodsuckers. She was accustomed to the best of everything, but when her father is investigated for banking corruption, her life takes a drastic turn for the worse. Valentino, a handsome artist with a bloody secret, may be her last resort. Blood and Stilettos: The Diary of a Vampire Stripper - This is the diary of Tilly Rose Marlowe, a young 19th century girl who becomes a vampire and goes on existing until the present. She begins life as a young, innocent New England girl who learns the cruelties of life at an early age. She inherits and loses a family fortune and is forced to work in a factory where she becomes the victim of a mad killer. Her life begins anew when she awakens in the underground lair of the mysterious Vasco Valverde, a very old vampire with a talent for gambling.

Let us say for now that there is more than one kind of vampire, my friend. And more than one kind of vampire slayer.
