About a year ago, I was lucky enough to be featured on SF Signal, an amazing blog that featured all things speculative fiction. To help promote my own brand-new, nontraditional vampire novel, I condensed years worth of research into a short article on the evolution of how vampires have been represented in popular fiction throughout the modern literary age.
Sadly, SF Signal discontinued publication. But I was proud of my article and hoped to find a new, permanent home for it.
Enter Speculative Chic!
Though my ridiculously busy life had so far precluded me from participating beyond short write-ups for group posts, the editor invited me to submit this previously published article. So if you missed it a year ago, now is your chance to check out my take on vampire representation in different literary mediums (including film, television, and graphic novels).
Do you agree or disagree with my assessments?
Did I miss your favorite vampire?
Who would win in an epic battle: a vampire, werewolf, or zombie?
Feel free to comment either here or at the original post, and I’d love to discuss these things with you!
You can read about how my vampire characters differ from the norm in the first book of the Steel Empires series, Steel Victory.
