The vampire is one of the nineteenth century's most powerful surviving archetypes, owing largely to Bela Lugosi's portrayal of Dracula, the Bram Stoker creation. Yet the figure of the vampire has undergone many transformations in recent years, thanks to Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles and other works, and many young people now identify with vampires in complex ways. Blood Read explores these transformations and shows how they reflect and illuminate ongoing changes in postmodern culture. It focuses on the metaphorical roles played by vampires in contemporary fiction and film, revealing what they can tell us about sexuality and power, power and alienation, attitudes toward illness, and the definition of evil in a secular age. Scholars and writers from the United States, Canada, England, and Japan examine how today's vampire has evolved from that of the last century, consider the vampire as a metaphor for consumption within the context of social concerns, and discuss the vampire figure in terms of contemporary literary theory. In addition, three writers of vampire fiction-Suzy McKee Charnas (author of the now-classic Vampire Tapestry), Brian Stableford (writer of the lively and erudite novels Empire of Fear and Young Blood), and Jewelle Gomez (creator of the dazzling Gilda stories)-discuss their own uses of the vampire, focusing on race and gender politics, eroticism, and the nature of evil. The first book to examine a wide range of vampire narratives from the perspective of both writers and scholars, Blood Read offers a variety of styles that will keep readers thoroughly engaged, inviting them to participate in a dialogue between fiction and analysis that shows the vampire to be a cultural necessity of our age. For, contrary to legends in which Dracula has no reflection, we can see reflections of ourselves in the vampire as it stands before us cloaked not in black but in metaphor.

De tous les personnages de la littérature fantastique, le vampire est sans doute celui qui domine le plus l'imaginaire contemporain. Son omniprésence dans la littérature, mais aussi dans la bande dessinée, au cinéma, à la télévision, dans les jeux de rôle et même dans la publicité, constitue à elle seule la preuve qu'il exerce une incontestable fascination sur le grand public. Le vampire qui nous est devenu désormais si familier est-il le même que celui qui faisait rêver les romantiques ? Y a-t-il encore une parenté entre le Dracula de Bram Stoker et les élégants prédateurs postmodernes imaginés par Anne Rice ? Pourquoi et comment les genres littéraires aussi différents que la science-fiction, le roman policier, la littérature enfantine et même la littérature sentimentale se sont à leur tour emparées de ces personnages qui semblaient devoir se limiter au seul récit d'horreur ? C'est à ces questions et à bien d'autres, que cet ouvrage tente de fournir des réponses en montrant que notresiècle si riche en événements tragiques et en bouleversements planétaires, a modifié la perception que l'on avait des vampires, et en essayant de définir les significations nouvelles que le mythe a acquises un siècle après la parition de "Dracula, dans un monde qui a perdu ses certitudes et qui est à la recherche de nouveaux repères.

Insatiable bloodlust, dangerous sexualities, the horror of the undead, uncharted Trannsylvanian wildernesses, and a morbid fascination with the `other': the legend of the vampire continues to haunt popular imagination. Reading the Vampire examines the vampire in all its various manifestations and cultural meanings. Ken Gelder investigates vampire narratives in literature and in film, from early vampire stories like Sheridan Le Fanu's `lesbian vampire' tale Carmilla and Bram Stoker's Dracula, the most famous vampire narrative of all, to contemporary American vampire blockbusters by Stephen King and others, the vampire chronicles of Anne Rice, `post-Ceausescu' vampire narratives, and films such as FW Murnau's Nosferatu and Bram Stoker's Dracula. Reading the Vampire embeds vampires in their cultural contexts, showing vampire narratives feeding off the anxieties and fascinations of their times: from the nineteenth century perils of tourism, issues of colonialism and national identity, and obsessions with sex and death, to the `queer' identity of the vampire or current vampiric metaphors for dangerous exchanges of bodily fluids and AIDS.
