Acknowledging the perennial popularity of the undead in both high and low culture, Hallab (emerita English literature, U. of Central Missouri) wonders what hidden void modern Western society is trying to fill with this fantasy, what it is trying to tell itself, what it is secretly demanding. She includes figures from folklore, myth, and literature, but only those that are dead humans still capable of behaving as though they were alive--not incubi or succubae, mindless zombies, lamia, and the like even if they share a marquee. Her perspectives include science, society, psychology, the religious vampire, and the vampire god. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
