Butler
looks at the popularity of the vampire legend from a sociological viewpoint.
The book discusses vampire history from its inception as a response to
oppression to its current incarnations. From Lord Ruthven to Varney the
Vampire to Edward Cullen to Lestat, Butler makes connections between the
evolution of the vampire legend and the sociological zeitgeist. It’s a little
dry, but worth the scholarly wading through.
