This book sets the writings of Merimee, Le Fanu, Stoker and Verne in
the context in which they were written - namely the response to
Balkan, Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian politics. Gibson analyzes their
works to reveal that the vampire acts as an allegory of the Near East
through which constitutes a challenge to the 'orientalism' argument of
today.
