      abstract = {Why are we surrounded by vampires in the twenty-first  century? From the global phenomena of Stephanie Meyer's  "Twilight" and Charlaine Harris's "Sookie Stackhouse",  through films such as "Underworld" and "Blade", television  series such as "The Vampire Diaries" and "Being Human", to  video games like "Bloodrayne" and "Legacy of Kain", the  reader, viewer and player has never had so many vampires to  choose from. This collection considers the importance of  the current flurry of vampires for our sense of human  identity. Vampires have long been read as bodies through  which our sense of ourselves has been reflected back to us.  The essays offer readings of the modern vampire as a  complex consideration of our modern human selves. Now that  we no longer see the vampire as essentially evil, what does  that say about us?},
