SYNOPSIS

The vampires of the 21st century are not what they used to be. Dracula has been outdone by angst-ridden teens like the ones in Twilight. The contemporary vampire has buried the aged Count, and now boasts youth, pleasure, love and femininity. The monster has assumed the contradictory nature of human beings, while the world, with its economic crises, political conflicts, social networks and pandemics, has become vampiric. This book analyzes the metamorphosis of the myth, from the legends of a Transylvanian castle to its animated reinterpretation in the cinema. In the past, children feared vampires; today, they want to become one. And adults find in the vampiric promises of happiness a refuge from a precarious job market, toxic relationships, and the mega-corporations that suck our blood day after day.
