But what accounts for their enduring popular appeal? In Vampire God, Mary Y. Hallab examines the mythic figure of the vampire from its origins in early Greek and Slavic folklore, its transformation by Romantics like Byron, Le Fanu, and Stoker, and its diverse representations in present-day popular culture. The allure of the vampire, Hallab argues, lies in its persistent undeadness, its refusal to accept its mortal destiny of death and decay. Vampires appeal to our fear of dying and our hope for immortality, and as a focus for our doubts and speculations, vampire literature offers answers to many of our most urgent questions about the meaning of death, the nature of the human soul, and its possible survival after bodily dissolution. Clearly written, with wry humor, Vampire God is a thoroughly researched, ambitious study that draws on cultural, anthropological, and religious perspectives to explore the significance and function of the vampire in relation to the scientific, social, psychological, and religious beliefs of its time and place. 606 $aVampires in literature 606 $aVampire films 606 $aVampires on television 606 $aFolk literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFantasy fiction$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aVampires in literature. 615 0$aVampire films. 615 0$aVampires on television. 615 0$aFolk literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFantasy fiction$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809.3/9375 700 $aHallab$b Mary Y.$f1940-$01812000 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955137503321 996 $aVampire god$94364221 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01541nam0-2200301 --450 001 9911057328303321 005 20260202151050.0 010 $a9780443109751 100 $a20260202d2025----kmuy0itay5050 ba 101 0 $aeng$ceng 102 $aUS 105 $a 001yy 200 1 $aVeterinary immunology$fIan R.
