Agnieszka Stasiewicz-Bie?kowska 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. 410 0$aPalgrave Gothic,$x2634-6222 606 $aFiction 606 $aChildren's literature 606 $aGoth culture (Subculture) 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x21st century 606 $aYouth$xSocial life and customs 606 $aFiction Literature 606 $aChildren's Literature 606 $aGothic Studies 606 $aContemporary Literature 606 $aYouth Culture 615 0$aFiction. 615 0$aChildren's literature. 615 0$aGoth culture (Subculture). 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x20th century. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x21st century. 615 0$aYouth$xSocial life and customs. 615 14$aFiction Literature. 615 24$aChildren's Literature. 615 24$aGothic Studies. 615 24$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aYouth Culture. 676 $a813.409352352 676 $a809.93375 700 $aStasiewicz-Bien?kowska$b Agnieszka$0943589 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483270503321 996 $aGirls in contemporary vampire fiction$92129725 997 $aUNINA
