I initially requested this from NetGalley or Edelweiss, possibly both, because as I reader all my life I have quite frequently succumbed to the allure of vampires in literature, in their varying forms. Thinking on this, knowing that vampires at their core are monsters who feed off others, I wondered why we are draw to creatures like vampires and werewolves and not others. What is unique about these creatures that we have developed and further a fascination with them that began centuries ago and these are just some of the questions that Violet Fenn sets out to answer within the book. However, Fenn makes it clear that this isn’t an encyclopaedia but an in-depth analysis on a fascination that has lasted centuries and seen a resurgence in the last 200 or so years.

The opening chapters looks at the historical fascination with vampires and what people believed to have been a vampire before the era of technology and medical advancements that we have now. Obviously, we know that historically things people didn’t understand because of a lack of knowledge or education were treated as demonic or something similar because during these time religious was the ruling force that people lived by. Fenn shows example of the vampire in fiction but differing in looks and personality starting with Byron, how they inspire Mary Shelley and right up to Bram Stoker’s Dracula. A lot of the works she references will be know to a semi well-read reader but the significance behind them might not be and this was intriguing but I can’t wait to get to more recent trends like Twilight and see what Fenn makes of those.

Fenn then takes a left turn from literature to look at vampires wards throughout time, starting with garlic. Now, I didn’t know this is a fairly modern warn against vampires because as we understood more about the human body we connected the fact that certain things that were said to deter vampires like sulphur are found in high concentration in foods like garlic and could therefore ward off a vampiric prescence. However, things like holy water and the sign of the cross are seen to affect vampires because when vampires came to public knowledge people were widely ruled by the church. This gave rise to the idea that since vampires go against God, signs of God and faith would deter the vampire although in modern interpretation of Dracula it is widely assumed that vampires take on the fears of those they consume so those that were religious if a vampire fed from them then they would fear those symbols. In modern takes on vampires these have all but been written out because religion no longer plays a huge role in our lives as it did in the past. Fenn also looks at sunlight and actually speculates that vampires develop an actual medical condition which causes their skin to blister and burn in the sunlight which is why the come out at night but she hasn’t looked at the coffin myth, transformations or other things like that yet.

Fenn then takes another left turn delving into the psychology of the vampire with a focus on sexuality and loneliness as well as the battle for power. We can see that after those early years, vampire became highly sexualised with the rise of Dracula and she even reference both Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey here (that’s Twilight fanfiction if you didn’t know). She talks how sex, fear and power are so intertwined in some aspects that they being to overlap and entwine making it impossible to separate them from the source. However, one aspect of this that I found interesting was her discussion of the loneliness of Dracula, in most versions of the tale, the Count is seeking a companion, the version I know is Mina. He seeks to reclaim his lost love and give her eternity but in the end he can’t bring himself to do that to the woman he loves, thus giving her the power to truly kill him. In the 2020 adaptation, it goes one step further as certain characters are seen to be almost reincarnations of others or that the echoes of their other lives is in their blood and as the current body weakens and dies those older selves come to the surface. In both version, Dracula isn’t alone at the end which was the one thing he has been seeking for the entirety of the story, companionship.

The following segments on vampire morality were ones that I really enjoyed since Fenn references several different pop culture vampires. Obviously, she looks at Dracula himself whose actions are out of loneliness but she goes one step further looking at Lestat from the Vampire Chronicles who is more brutal and finds a sense of freedom in being a vampire having broken out of the mortal chains. The vampires were spend the most time with though during this section are the Cullens from Twilight. While they are vampires, they are still bound to mortal morality leading them to adopt a completely different lifestyle to other vampires and are often looked down upon for this very reason. However, they don’t see themselves are superior since they don’t try and convert others to their lifestyle or force it upon them as we can see in Breaking Dawn when many of their allies are human drinkers and are allowed to continue with this lifestyle with some obvious restrictions for hunting locations. The look at morality was interesting for me since vampires are often portrayed as being less than human aka monsters or they seem to see themselves as above humans aka Gods when neither are the case.

I really liked how Fenn looked at vampires through several different lens and through different mediums as well. She first looks at how vampires can be portrayed as monsters like in Let The Right One In but to the characters involved they aren’t monsters but saviours and that was really interesting. Fenn also looks at how vampires are portrayed in different genres from comedy with the Addams Family to children’s in Sesame Street to more fantasy and romantic in Sookie Stackhouse and Discworld. It is clear that vampires have been portrayed in different ways in different mediums based on the idea of what a vampire is from the people creating the thirst vampires. Fenn also makes sure that we understand that all of these are vampires but not in the traditional sense but it makes you question what does and doesn’t make a vampire especially when in some series like Discworld the vampire don’t even drink blood.

Fenn then dives even deeper into vampire lore as she looks at both the seduction nature and the reality of being immortal. From the view point of a mortal the prospect of immortality is alluring and seductive in some many levels and yet the reality we witness in media like Dracula, Being Human and Twilight shows us it is anything but that and yet we are still drawn to it without knowing why. From the perspective of an immortal, it does grant them certain perks like being able to acquire vast amounts of wealth and learn many skills but become tedious over time and installs a sense of fear in them. This fear of death is present in mortals too but to a lesser degree since we are aware of our mortality and the dichotomy was interesting to see.

Coming to the end of the book, Fenn takes us outside the realm of the vampire to look at goth culture and how that was influenced by the vampire myth and how that culture influenced vampires right back. The ending of speaking to different people about the culture and subcultures involving vampires was really interesting and added a hard human element to the book especially with Stoker’s relatives. Overall, I found A History of the Vampire in Pop Culture to be a great book packed with interesting information pulled from various media and sources. If you ever went through a vampire phase, are still in your vampire phase or just enjoy vampires then definitely check this book out.

NetGalley, Jasper E H Cook

This book was a discussion of the vampire in popular culture, with a heavy leaning towards TV and movies with particularly in-depth discussion on the 2020 BBC TV series as well as how everything all stems back to Bram Stoker's book Dracula.

There was a lot of well-covered history of the vampire and a few snippets of things that I hadn't heard of which was great.

NetGalley, Charlotte Booth

This was a really pleasant surprise, not being a huge fan of Vampires. I can say that I really enjoyed this book and, to be honest, it seems vampires are around more often than you think. I suppose it helped to be in conjunction with popular culture as I had heard about a number of the books and films spoken about throughout. I enjoyed the writing of the author Violet Fenn who clearly knows her stuff as there was lots of good detail that was enjoyable and engaging.

I love vampires, SO much. Reading Twilight when I was 12/13 was probably my first proper interaction with vampires and ever since then it’s just been one vampire thing after another! So when I go this book from Pen and Sword I was way too excited! ‘A History of the Vampire in Popular Culture’ covers the folklore and ‘real life’ legends surrounding vampires as well as discussing vampires in things like Buffy and Dracula. I love Violet Fenn’s writing style too, it’s a lot easier to read than other academic/educational books I’ve read meaning that I can actually enjoy what I’m reading rather than try to figure out what I’m reading! I would say this book is a great introduction to Vampires as it does cover quite a wide spectrum of Vampires and Vampire lore without being too overwhelming! My only problem is that now my vampire obsession is back with a full force and I still haven’t figured out a way to have fangs. I love this book, and I couldn’t recommend it enough!

Violet's new book is one to sink your teeth into

Shropshire Star 10/05/21

Honestly I really enjoyed this book, it reminded me of the best modules of my university days and reminded me of how much I love vampire media. It is an excellent ‘beginners’ book to the history of the vampire, great for inspiring a deeper dive into one or more of the movies, books and folk tales mentioned within. More experienced readers in the topic will be unlikely to find anything particularly new here, but it is good fun!

NetGalley, Charlotte Blackwell

Oh my gosh. This book was a delight! It was my first book by Violet Fenn but I have been reading and enjoying P&S the history of books just lately. I have to say of the ones I’ve read this is definitely one of the more interesting ones and I loved Fenn’s style.

NetGalley, Kay Parker

Violet Fenn’s love for the vampire shines through in this marvellous 165-page hardback, complimented by a selection of photos and artwork, and is difficult to put down once you start exploring the theme. Her attention to detail and analysis of various depictions through pop culture makes you see things from a different perspective and invites you to appreciate the vampire characters in cinema much more than you may already do. For any film or literary fan, this book is a worthy talking piece, especially for those who like to dissect and analyse film (as we do here at HCF). Whilst I’ve always been a fan of vampires, on and off the screen, this book has made me love them even more. Reading Fenn’s breakdown of the genre has encouraged me to assess the various characteristics and drives of my favourite fictional vampires, to see how each differentiate in order to build a more complex character than I may have first perceived. It certainly makes me want to revisit some of my favourite vampire films so that can I appreciate them with an entirely new perspective.

If you crave a book you can sink your teeth into that provides a thoughtful, well-researched and passionate, insightful exploration of the vampire genre, I can heartily recommend A HISTORY OF THE VAMPIRE IN POPULAR CULTURE.

This book went into so much depth and I really enjoyed that! It was informative but not boring and overall, a very entertaining read!!! Loved it and definitely recommend!

A History of the Vampire in Popular Culture is a fascinating and enthusiastic deep-dive into vampire lore in popular culture which will hold revelations even for those already deep into the lore.

*4.5 stars*

Detailed and wildly entertaining…

Ahh, vampires. Sexy, scary, and all things in between, if you read, watch movies or spend any time on the internet you don’t have to go far to find them. While I’ve stayed on the lighter side of these books and movies, the interpretations of what and who they are seem endless. This book gathers many of these familiar stories and interpretations together in one volume while also digging deeper into how they came to be part of the human experience. From folk legends to centuries old history, there is familiar as well as brand new material here, waiting to be explored…

I loved how this author loved this subject! She admitted her fascination with all things goth and subsequently vampires, and her enthusiasm was infectious. From surprising quotes and tidbits, to common knowledge, it was all woven together into a non-academic but in-depth dive into vampires and their impact, and depth, in pop culture (today and times gone by). There is a raft of references and I will be using that to add to my TBR and TBW lists for sure.

If you are looking for a detailed (not dry), personal (fun to read), book on this subject, I would definitely recommend this one.

This book was an interesting read. Loved reading about the different versions of vampires over the course of several years and books, and other sources. I would tell my friends and family who are into vampires to check it out.

NetGalley, Joel Harris

This book provides a comprehensive, up to date introduction to the the inclusion of vampires in media, from the early Gothic influence to Dracula (which formed the blueprint for all subsequent vampire stories) to the more modern takes, like Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles and Twilight. While not exhaustive, I like how the text explores its rise in literature, then how said literature influenced film and television, whether in the form of adaptations or just works inspired by the overall aesthetic. I also appreciate the inclusion of an interview with a musician who embraces the Gothic aesthetic. This is definitely a work that will delight many fans of the vampire and its many media appearances throughout history.

NetGalley, Courtney Tonokawa

This is a very well written and researched deep dive into many aspects of Vampires and how vampires are used in popular culture depictions. Personally, I loved both discussion on the historical vampire accounts and how vampires are used in movies and TV shows. The vampire mythos is constantly changing and there seems to be something for everyone even if you personally don’t agree with all of the depictions. I think this would be a great book for anyone that is fascinated by vampires and vampire fiction.

NetGalley, Allie Seale

Fenn's texts provides interesting information on different aspects of vampirism as well as the likely cause for their associations. It delves into the history of vampires and the many stories and myths dating back as early as the 1700s, if we exclude mythologies involving vampire-like creatures or illnesses associated with vampire folklore. It covers films from the multiple versions of "Dracula" to the "Twilight" series in a fresh and enlightening way.

NetGalley, Maria Dorado

This is an entertaining and engaging look into the vampire in popular culture, both today and throughout the past several hundred years. From Lord Byron and Bram Stoker to Twilight and Buffy, what is it that makes us drawn to vampires? How have our views of them changed over the centuries and why? Violet Fenn looks into history to see how social, cultural and sexual changes have influenced the appeal of vampires. It isn’t just an overview of Fenn’s favorite movies and books- there are plenty of explorations into those she doesn’t like if she feels that the vampire representation is important. Although the book was a bit repetitive in its writing on occasion, Fenn’ s unabashed love of and interest in her subject comes through each page. Her sense of humor and personal thoughts and opinions are highly enjoyable to read and overall this was a fun look into the never ending question of why we remain so fascinated with vampires.

NetGalley, Anne Morgan

This is going to be going in my top books I have read this year, I loved how Violet Fenn got me thinking about why I love vampires. Though it did take me a few pages to really get into the book but after that I was hooked. I recommend this to anyone who loves vampires and want to know why we love them. I will be picking up Violet Fenn other book soon and will read anything else they write.

NetGalley, Elizabeth Neill

It was a great read for those who love reading anything that deals with vampires just like me , this book is also perfect for those who love to watch vampire movies which is other thing I love, and I give points to the author for putting this together. Because not only do you learn of vampire history, but you also get to learn abut their origins in mythology and literature and their enduring appeal on television and films and vampire lore . But the biggest win for me was the references she made to books and movies , some I knew and others I didn't , and after reading this I want to go and watch some of the movies she named which is great because I love old moves and those are the ones I might end up watching like Dracula ( which not only one of my all time favorite books but movie as well )

NetGalley, Elizabeth Means

This book is so well written!!! I really enjoyed it and I think it is quite a fun book to everybody who loves vampires and want to know more on how they are portrayed.

This book is a fun easy read a dive into Vampires in popular culture.With lots of good stories from history. The authors obviously dislike off twilight is throughout 😂.I have a whole heap of book and movies to read and watch from the references made in book all listed at the end.

NetGalley, Lucy Stewart

A History of the Vampire in Popular Culture by Violet Fenn is a fun and informative look at the various incarnations of the vampire in popular culture as well as some thoughts about why we continue to enjoy them. What it says about us in relation to the changing presentation of the vampire.

NetGalley, Jack Messer

A History of the Vampire in Popular Culture is just that - it explores the history and origin of the vampire and how the rules of the creature of changed. The book looks into vampires of specific movies and tv shows and even comic book and songs. Highly recommended to anyone who is interested in vampires.

NetGalley, Sarah Watson

In the author’s own words, Dracula “…is all of us – our innermost desires and dreams and fears, pulled together and brought to life in an overwhelming mixture of terror and lust.” Ms. Fenn presents her subject with a touch of wit, sure to keep readers entertained. Four stars.

A great, engaging account of historic note - I absolutely adored this book and it’s in depth look at vampires and how they came to be such a staple in pop culture! It’s also a beautifully book, gorgeous in any collection for your bookcase.

I love how the author also looked into sexism, and how dead bodies were misidentified as coming to life. It grounded the accounts told in the book. Overall, I would recommend this to horror and history fans of all types!

NetGalley, Alayna Romo

It's a fascinating dissection of the myth behind vampires and their ilk. Go on, it won't bite!!

NetGalley, Zee Azadi

This was so up my street! I have loved Vampires ever since I was a child. I mean, who doesn't love a Vampire?
This book was brilliant! Not only did it look at some of the folklore, origins and rules about Vampires throughout the world and throughout the years. But, it also used specific popular culture references to explain various points about Vampires too. It looked at poetry, artwork, literature, films and music.
I learnt so much! Brilliantly written, and incredibly fascinating.

NetGalley, Kate Henderson

In this book, the author takes us on a journey to the beginning of all vampire stories as we know and love them today. From classics like Lord Byron or Horace Walpole to today's vampire in TV, music and even musicals.
The author not only includes folklore and historical cases of "vampirism", but also tries to explain psychologically why the myth does not cease to fascinate us even after more than 150 years in literature and modern media.
A must-read for every vampire fan.

NetGalley, Raphaela Hußmann

A History of the Vampire in Popular Culture is absolutely fascinating. Until now, I had not thought much about the vampire . . . except for when I am reading about one . . . or a family of them. How intrigued I was to learn that there are different species of vampires! For anyone who has enjoyed tales such as Dracula, Interview With the Vampire, and even Twilight, throw yourself into this book and learn more about the vampire!

NetGalley, Bethlynne Pickens

This book opened my eyes to the world of Vampires, and I think it was a great introductory start to someone like me, who knows little to nothing about them. Not only has this book given me a huge insight to the culture surrounding these dark creatures, it has also given me a huge list of films and books that I want to read - I can feel a vampire obsession brewing!

This is an entertaining, comprehensive and intelligently written compendium/critique which is a must for all vamp lovers. And omg she is SO RIGHT about Twilight. Ugh.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to my coffin...

NetGalley, Ophelia Sings

In general, this book is a fun exploration into the world of vampires, and the larger implication of vampires in popular culture. Firstly, I am so glad this book did not end up as "Yea this whole thing started from Dracula" because that is simply not true. Vampires have been around for as long as superstition has been around. I really loved how the author connected the human psyche and experience to the creation and propagation of the myth. It's so easy to just say, "Yea vampires are sexy" but that can't just be the bare bones of the popularity. Fenn talks about the eroticism of vampires, but also the implications of life and death, as well as the male and female and experience. Highly recommend it as a fun non-fiction read.

NetGalley, Imman Shah

This is a book that I found interesting and also thought-provoking giving an insight into the authors' thoughts on the legend of the vampire. It is one I would recommend.

NetGalley, Yvonne Bastian

I enjoyed reading the book, it was informative and interesting read. The conclusion wrapped up the themes nicely in a satisfying way.

NetGalley, Bohdana Panchyshyn

An entertaining look into the history of vampires throughout film, novels, and television. The author offers their witty commentary while providing contextual information for a variety of films, television, and books...
A great read for any vampire fan(g)s!

NetGalley, Julia Brennan

Vampires are one of pop culture's most enduring mythological figures, and the possibilities for new types of stories and new lives to give them seems virtually endless. Whether they're enticingly beautiful and seductive or repulsive creatures of the shadows, we return to them again and again. Violet Fenn's History of the Vampire in Popular Culture attempts to examine what about them appeals to us so enduringly by looking at some of her favorite (and not so favorite) examples in literature, film, television, and music. She also weaves in examples of the vampiric myth from all around the world, and interviews several fascinating people, from prominent figures in the Goth scene to descendants of Bram Stoker himself.

NetGalley, Katelyn Nelson

I really love this book it was so informed about how we view vampire's and I found a lot I didn't know about, it's interesting how we view them, how things changed from century to century.

I have been a big fan of Vampires for years and some of my favourite movies include such classic vampires like Dracula, Lesat, Martin and of cause can't forget Edward? Or let's take the other media TV Series we have great Vampires like Barnabas, Angel, Spike, Nick Knight, Mick ST John. Seems everywhere you look there is a new Vampire movie or TV series being made.

So based on that and the fact that two years ago I did a horror marathon and watched 98 horror films and 65 of them happened to be based on Vampires while 30 of them were Dracula I knew I had to read this book.

I was not disappointed from the first page right too the last one I was interested in and invested this book. I even learnt stuff I didn't know like how vampires came to be the the history behind them (I never had dug that far back before) I was also really pleased to see Carmilla was mentioned in here too.

If you love vampires then this is a no brainer GET THIS BOOK you will not regret it at all.

NetGalley, Joshua Coupland

This is an interesting and informative look into the popularity and persistence of the vampire in Western popular culture. It presents some really great thinking points and is well written and well-researched.

NetGalley, Molly Trammell

From Dracula to True Blood and so many other works in literature, film and television, book does what it says on the tin. Pop culture is rife with vampires and all the different forms these supernatural creatures have taken over the centuries and this book explores many of them. She goes in on certain myths of women bathing in blood and how these people have influenced vampiric women over the years. If you’re interested in a fresh take on vampires in media, I recommend this book.

I was excited to get started with this because I became a huge vampire fan when Twilight came out and have continued with the vampire genre in books. This book takes you through the history of vampires in Pop Culture. What was my favorite part about the book? All of the new things that I did learn about vampire genre. What did I take away from it? A lot. A lot more than I expected. Hopefully new soon to be favorite movies, new places to visit and most importantly a favorite new author.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

"Being human is never easy. No wonder, then, that so many of us see the vampires - forever dark and different - as our one true love."
In this book, we take a walk down of vampire history, looking at their origins in mythology and literature and their enduring appeal on television and film. We meet computer-generated vampires who try to live a wholesome, ethical life and look at the sexuality - and sexism - of vampire lore. This book is intended as an overview of how vampires are portrayed in popular culture.
The author starts with a source of the name and how is the term used. Book gives you a view of the ways we have viewed and perceived vampires over the centuries, with a focus on their presence in popular media across the last 200 years. It also describes how vampires have always existed in our heads.
"For the life of the flesh is in the blood".
In the book, there are also a lot of interesting stories that might or might not be true. The stories just got you thinking about the existence of vampires. The author also did a lot of research about the emergence of vampires through the centuries. There are included many facts about vampires and how to kill them. There is also a lot of connection with religion how as Christianity has been the major religion in the western world for most recorded history.
We have been attracted to vampires for long as they have existed in the human consciousness and perhaps our love of vampires is in itself a type of kink.
"Watching everyone and everything I ever know or love wither and die? That's a punishment, not a prize".

I really enjoyed reading this book.

NetGalley, Tadeja Kuhar

I don't envy any author the task of writing a history of the Vampire in Popular Culture because it is such a broad subject, and what people think of the broad works contained within it is so subjective.

That said, I feel like Violet Fenn does a great job. Her obvious enthusiasm for the topic leaps off the page - and it is an infectious enthusiasm. It seems like a very personal book - certainly a labour of love - the author states that she's cherry picked the examples of vampires in popular culture to illustrate what she's talking about. This means that I've found lots of new films and books to watch surrounding Vampires - but also some omissions (there's a chapter called The Vampire Next Door but no mention of one of my favourites - Fright Night 😢🧛).

To be fair, the author states early on that the book is intended as an overview rather than a chronology or encyclopaedia - and the book is indeed very accessible and light enough to enjoy. It's definitely a great place to start for people new to the genre and the filmography and bibliography at the end of the book make for a great resource.

And one more plus, I don't live too far from Anfield Crem - as soon as lockdowns allow - I'm off to explore!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

The author looks at some really good books and films, with also some rather poor ones, and thus injects some humour into the subject. We also even look into the world of vampire musicals, something that I must admit that I was not even aware of. By tackling the subject in such a way as Fenn has done this means that we are always kept entertained, and we are also given some urban myths, plus the unusual well documented case of children on the hunt for a vampire.

With a bibliography, index and pictures this book has more than enough to keep you reading and perhaps the best way to describe this book as a whole would be to think of Lucy Worsley if she had suddenly become a goth. There are also interviews with various people known in the goth and vampire world. In all then an enjoyable and fascinating look at a subject that more often than not is overlooked.

NetGalley, Martin Dowden

This was a very interesting book. I liked how it jumped around in vampire pop culture. It was short enough to keep me entertained while still being fun.
