Our Ladies of Darkness by Joseph Andriano
This volume is a study of the figure of the female demon or vampire in literature. Close readings of 15 texts leads to intertexual parallels, drawn through an archetypal perspective, which creates coherence among the many recurring image-patterns and motifs.“The theme of the demonic feminine which has haunted men from time immemorial has been limited in Andriano's very fine study of Gothic fictionHe poses several questions at the outset with regard to the erotic and deadly nature of such forces and to their frequent appearances in literature. He answers these straightforwardly and cogently in this book.”
