Eco-Vampires: The Undead and the Environment

By Simon Bacon

Book Overview

This work studies the ways vampiric narratives explore the eco-friendly credentials of the undead. Many of these texts and films show the vampire to be an essential part of a global ecosystem and an organism that can no longer tolerate the all-consuming forces of globalization and consumerism. Re-examining Bram Stoker's Dracula and a range of other vampire narratives, primarily films, in a fresh light, this book reveals the nosferatu

as both a plague on humankind and the eco-warriors that planet Earth desperately needs.
