Vampires and Fashion, Peter Lang Publishers

For the last 100 years, from Nosferatu to Nosferatu, vampires have graced screens large and small, dressed in clothing that has become part and parcel of their appeal. From drab gray and black German frock coats to full formal tuxes, from diaphanous gowns to sleek, form-hugging dresses, from haute couture to jeans and leather jackets, and from wing-collared capes to Middle Eastern chadors, vampire fashion is varied and exciting, yet has, to date, received little academic attention.
We aim to address this dearth. To that end we are thrilled to announce that we are currently accepting abstracts for chapters for inclusion in a volume on Fashion and Vampires, under consideration for the Companion Series at Peter Lang, Oxford.
Our collection will examine vampire fashion to find the connections and common threads. We seek to examine how fashion and vampire couture come together, and to ask—and answer—the question: why does vampire fashion matter?
