From Demons to Dracula
Author: Matthew Beresford
Publisher: Reaktion Books
ISBN: 1861897421
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
In blood-soaked lore handed down the centuries, the vampire is a monster of endless fascination: from Bram Stoker’s Dracula to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, this seductive lover of blood haunts popular culture and inhabits our darkest imaginings. The cultural history of the vampire is a rich and varied tale that is now ably documented in From Demons to Dracula, a compelling study of the vampire myth that reveals why this creature of the undead fascinates us so. Beresford’s chronicle roams from the mountains of Eastern Europe to the foggy streets of Victorian England to Hollywood, as he investigates the portrayal of the vampire in history, literature, and art. Opening with the original Dracula, Vlad the Impaler, and his status as a national hero in Romania, he endeavors to winnow out truths from the complex legend and folklore. From Demons to Dracula tracks the evolution of the vampire as an icon and supernatural creature, drawing on classical Greek and Roman myths, witch trials and medieval plagues, Gothic literature, and even contemporary works such as Anne Rice’s Interview with a Vampire and Elizabeth Kostova’s The Historian. Beresford also looks at the widespread impact of screen vampires from television shows, classic movies starring Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee, and more recent films such as Underworld and Blade. Whether as a demon of the underworld or a light-fearing hunter of humans, the vampire has endured through the centuries, the book reveals, as powerfully symbolic figure for human concerns with life, death, and the afterlife. A wide-ranging and engrossing chronicle, From Demons to Dracula casts this blood-thirsty nightstalker as a remarkably complex and telling totem of our nightmares, real and imagined.

Book Description
His soul is hers for the asking… Sworn to obedience, compelled by loyalty and love, Jacob entered Lady Lyssa’s service as a human servant. Now he is a vampire, but still bound to Lyssa, who struggles with the burgeoning powers in her paternal Fae blood. All while challenged by new enemies in the Fae and vampire worlds. The Vampire Council has threatened to take away Lyssa and Jacob’s newborn son. The Fae Queen has ordered Lyssa to appear before the Otherworld court. While the Fae have nothing but contempt for vampires, Jacob will follow his lady into hell itself. No one—neither Fae nor vampire--will compel him to break the oath he made to serve his vampire queen forever. Note: Lyssa and Jacob’s story kicked off the Vampire Queen series. Books 1 and 2, Vampire Queen’s Servant and Mark of the Vampire Queen, are therefore highly recommended before reading Bound by the Vampire Queen.
