Description

Central to every vampire story is the undead’s need for human blood, but equally compelling is the human ingestion of vampire blood, which often creates a bond. This blood connection suggests two primal, natural desires: breastfeeding and communion with God through a blood covenant. This analysis of vampire stories explores the benefits of the bonding experiences of breastfeeding and Christian and vampire narratives, arguing that modern readers and viewers are drawn to this genre because of our innate fascination with the relationship between human and maker.

Author Biography:

Amy Williams Wilson has presented on the contemporary vampire story at various academic and pop culture conferences around the United States. In addition to her research endeavors, she teaches English at West Virginia University and Fairmont State University and volunteers as a crisis hotline worker for the HOPE domestic violence shelter in Fairmont, West Virginia.
