Review

Gelder’s
approach to the vampire legend is based on careful readings of the
classics—Byron, Polidori, LeFanu, and Stoker—through the lens of Freud,
Lacan, and Zizek, among others. This examination doesn’t reveal any new
secrets, but it may make you pause and rethink a few things. The inclusion of
Anne Rice and Stephen King makes for a distinctly American view of the
vampire. The writing is smooth, but a bit on the dry side.
