Description
The ultimate book on Dracula has been fully updated. The image of the black-caped vampire has become an indelible part of modern imagination, rivaling the familiarity of Santa Claus. This critically acclaimed book maps out the archetypal vampire's trajectory from Victorian literary oddity to movie idol and cultural commodity. David J. Skal digs through the populist veneer to reveal what the prince of darkness says about us all. The book includes black-and-white illustrations throughout, plus a new introduction.
