This volume offers an eco-critical and post-humanist deconstruction of ecologies, environmentalisms, trans- and post-humanisms represented in the 21st century vampire narratives. The corpus encompasses the so-called Western narratives (anglo- and francophone), as well as the Eastern European ones (Polish and Russian). The structural analysis of the vampire narratives focuses on the main topoi: the ecological attitudes and statements as expressed by the actors of the stories themselves; the narratives' attitude towards the animals; the vampire and human actors' diet(s); the actors' and the narrative definition and positioning of the non-human. The volume follows the topoi's complex entanglements presenting a multidimensional insight into the contemporary stances on the world-realities.
