Pressestimmen

“Both are well written and open up what I recognise as a frustrating subject in a way that casts a light on the films and enables the student to expand their knowledge. The difference in definitions, the distinctive lenses the two use, means the books enhance each other rather than detract from them, enabling critical examination. Both authors bring new things to the table, and both should be commended.” (Andrew M. Boylan, Journal of Vampire Studies, Vol. 4, 2024)
