Agnieszka Stasiewicz-Bieńkowska considers less-explored popular vampire series for girls, particularly those by P.C. and Kristin Cast and Richelle Mead, tracing the ways in which they engage in larger cultural conversations on girlhood in the Western world. Mapping the interactions between girl and vampire corporealities, delving into the unconventional tales of vampire romance and girl sexual expressions, examining the narratives of women and violence, and venturing into the uncanny vampire classroom to unmask its critique of present-day schooling, the volume offers a new perspective on the vampire genre and an engaging insight into the complexities of growing up a girl.Palgrave Gothic,2634-6222FictionChildren's literatureGoth culture (Subculture)Literature, Modern20th centuryLiterature, Modern21st centuryYouthSocial life and customsFiction LiteratureChildren's LiteratureGothic StudiesContemporary LiteratureYouth CultureFiction.Children's literature.Goth culture (Subculture).Literature, Modern20th century.Literature, Modern21st century.YouthSocial life and customs.Fiction Literature.Children's Literature.Gothic Studies.Contemporary Literature.Youth Culture.813.409352352809.93375Stasiewicz-Bieńkowska Agnieszka943589MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483270503321Girls in contemporary vampire fiction2129725UNINA
