Synopsis

Just as the multifaceted ways of referring to bloodsuckers have changed over centuries, depictions in literature and popular media are omnipresent in an ever broadening variety of forms. The five student essays contained in this volume concentrate on artistic variations of the vampire-motive in different historical contexts. As manifold as these depictions may appear, the essays share the goal of describing and examining the various forms of the popular shapeshifters – the metamorphoses of the vampire.
