      abstract = {This book explores the narratives of girlhood in  contemporary YA vampire fiction, bringing into the  spotlight the genre's radical, ambivalent, and  contradictory visions of young femininity. Agnieszka  Stasiewicz-Bieńkowska considers less-explored popular  vampire series for girls, particularly those by P.C. and  Kristin Cast and Richelle Mead, tracing the ways in which  they engage in larger cultural conversations on girlhood in  the Western world. Mapping the interactions between girl  and vampire corporealities, delving into the unconventional  tales of vampire romance and girl sexual expressions,  examining the narratives of women and violence, and  venturing into the uncanny vampire classroom to unmask its  critique of present-day schooling, the volume offers a new  perspective on the vampire genre and an engaging insight  into the complexities of growing up a girl.},
