The Troubling and Distracting Specter of Stoker’s Vampire on Screen

Cover of Bacon Simon Bacon: Dracula as Absolute Other (ePUB)

Dark, dangerous and transgressive, Bram Stoker’s Dracula is often read as Victorian society’s absolute Other–an outsider who troubles and distracts those around him, one who represents the fears and anxieties of the age. This book is a study of Dracula’s role of absolute Other as it appears on screen, and an investigation of popular culture’s continued fascination with vampires. Drawing on vampire films spanning from the early 20th century to 2017, the author examines how different generations construct Otherness and how this is reflected in vampire media.
