About the Author:
As a persistent figure in 20th and 21st-century American culture, the vampire has served as a medium to express our fears, desires, and anxieties about our place in the world, in nature, and in society. The character of the vampire is intrinsically associated with concepts of immortality, religion, morality, and sexuality—all of which serve to make stories about these mythic beings compelling to us.
Louis H. Palmer, PhD, is associate professor in the English department at Castleton State College, Castleton, VT.
