Call for Contributors: "The Universal Vampire."
We are seeking contributions for an edited collection of essays on the subject of universal vampire studies. The book will be intended for an informed popular audience interested in literature, film, folklore and cultural studies. The collection of approximately fifteen original essays will examine the vampire phenomenon from a variety of angles, accounting for both its popularity and the reactions it has provoked.
We envision the book divided into three parts:
(1) introductory and cultural-historical analyses, defining the legend, its origins and manifestations around the world, current trends and future possibilities; (2) critical essays on the vampire genre and its influence; and (3) unique individual perspectives, either literary, film, or folklore.
We expect the completed work to provide a detailed contemporary portrait of a vibrant cultural phenomenon.
If you are interested in contributing to this project, please respond by JANUARY 1, 2012 with a brief description of your proposed essay. For further information, feel free to contact us.
