Una historia pop de los vampiros

The vampires of the 21st century are no longer what they were. Dracula has been overtaken by troubled teens like the ones in Twilight. The contemporary vampire has buried the mature count and now displays youth, pleasure, love and femininity, thanks to his ability to adapt to the hectic times that he has had to live. The monster has assumed the incongruities of humans, while the world, with its economic crises, political conflicts, social networks and pandemics, became vampiric. This book analyzes the metamorphosis of the myth from the legend of the Transylvanian castle to its animated reinterpretation in the cinema. Children of the past were afraid of vampires; those of today want to be one. And adults find in their promise of happiness a refuge from precarious jobs, toxic relationships and megacorporations that suck our blood on a daily basis.
