Insightful and compelling...as a tool for understanding the drift
of human culture over the last two centuries. The evermorphing
vampire, powerful and at the same time significantly flawed,
invites us to reflect on our own life as we seek control,
community, and some sense of selfworth. -J. Gordon Melton,
Distinguished Professor of American Religious History, Baylor
University-- "Reviews"
Margot Adler's new book does what I most appreciate in a piece of
writing: it makes me look at the world differently. Vampires became
a lens to help us examine our attitudes toward sex, death, and how
we are sucking the lifeblood out of the earth. She explores her
personal fascination and our cultural obsession with vampires with
humor, insight, and great emotional honesty. An illuminating and
fascinating work! -Starhawk, author of The Spiral Dance and The
Fifth Sacred Thing-- "Reviews"
Vampires. Why do we care? Between these pages, you will find what
is, very simply, the most literate, imaginative and just plain
fascinating answer to that question that has ever been written.
Reading this was pure pleasure. First rate! -Whitley Strieber--
