About the Book

This comprehensive bibliography covers writings about vampires and related creatures from the 19th century to the present. More than 6,000 entries document the vampire's penetration of Western culture, from scholarly discourse, to popular culture, politics and cook books. Sections by topic list works covering various aspects, including general sources, folklore and history, vampires in literature, music and art, metaphorical vampires and the contemporary vampire community. Vampires from film and television--from Bela Lugosi's Dracula to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, True Blood and the Twilight Saga--are well represented.

About the Author :
J. Gordon Melton is the distinguished professor of American religious history at Baylor University, Waco, Texas. He is also an accomplished scholar of vampire and Dracula studies and the author of multiple books. He lives in Woodway, Texas. Alysa Hornick has maintained Whedonology: An Academic Whedon Studies Bibliography since 2005. She lives and works in New York City.

Review :
“very thorough…excellent”—ARBA; “Melton and Hornick put together a volume that will spare future vampire enthusiasts and scholars who are studying this mythical figure and its sociocultural background a long research session at the library. Their comprehensive bibliography features more than six thousand entries of English-language secondary sources of the vampire myth as it has been portrayed in print and visual media from 1800 to 2013. A major auxiliary research source for the newly formed discipline of vampire studies and for the fields of English, comparative literature, film studies, cultural and ethnic area studies and folklore”—H-Net Reviews; “lists some 6,000 books and articles…a checklist for collectors and libraries”—Communications Booknotes Quarterly.
