In a series of exhilarating readings, Gelder determines what is at stake when the cinematic vampire and the modern world are made to encounter one another – where the new, the remake and the sequel find the vampire struggling to survive the past, the present and, in some cases, the distant future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BFI Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47062605332720,"sku":"9781844574414","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781844574414_p0.jpg?v=1763779827","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781844574414","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
