Different Blood: The Vampire As Alien

Rating:
Summary: Alien Vampires
Review: Vampire fiction is much more than Bram Stoker's Dracula and Anne Rice's Chronicles. Stoker focused on the supernatural evil of the vampire as personified by Count Dracula. Many modern writers also give the vampire supernatural status, but there are other authors who depict the vampire as another species, an alien, and this is the focus of Margaret Carters' fascinating study. The book, though academic in approach, will appeal to anyone interested in a readable analysis of literature.
