Full Description
A comprehensive anthology of vampires in literature, from Dracula to Twilight.
Christopher Frayling has spent 50 years exploring the history of one of the most enduring figures in the history of mass culture - the vampire. Vampyres is a comprehensive illustrated history of vampires in literature, from the folklore of Eastern Europe to the Romantics and beyond. Frayling recounts the most significant moments in Gothic history, while extracts from a huge range of sources - including Bram Stoker's detailed research notes for Dracula, penny-dreadfuls and Angela Carter's The Lady of the House of Love, are contextualized and analysed.
This revised and expanded edition brings Vampyres up to date with 21st-century vampire literature, including new text extracts, commentary and a revised introduction. Christopher Frayling also explores the development of the vampire in the visual arts, with illustrations ranging from 17th-century prints to 21st-century film stills, demonstrating the enduring appeal of the vampire from popular press to fine art and, finally, to film.
