While the male vampire has gone from monster to anti-hero to dream boyfriend, the path of his sister in blood has been more complex and mysterious. James Grant Goldin presents a curated anthology of the original texts, some freshly translated, that trace the evolution of the vampire lady through the end of the 19th century. In this anthology, there are, to be sure, monsters--VESPERTILIA of \"A Mystery of the Campagna,\" ONEIZA of \"Thalaba the Destroyer\" and BRUNHILDE of \"Wake Not The Dead\"--but there are also vampire women in love, like CLARIMONDE, the airborne ALICE of Turgenev's \"Phantoms,\" or the lesbian CARMILLA. There are vampires seeking justice or vengeance, like THE LADY BRIGHT. And there are characters like CLARA CROFTON or ALINSKA, who are both predators and victims. VAMPIRES: FIRST BLOOD VOLUME II - THE VAMPIRE LADIES collects the original adventures of the daughters of darkness who returned from the dead to pit their supernatural powers against the entrenched forces of patriarchy. This anthology comes complete with introductory notes and detailed glossaries to make these surprisingly contemporary stories come alive for a new generation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLilith, from \"The Alphabet of Ben Sira\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bride of Corinth, by Goethe\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOneiza, from Southey's \"Thalaba the Destroyer\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrunhilda, from Raupach's \"Wake Not the Dead\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlinska, from Lamothe-Langon's \"The Vampire, or the Virgin of Hungary\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Vampire Bride, by Liddell\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClarimonde, from Gautier's \"The Dead in Love\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Lady Bright, from Maxwell's \"The Vampire\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClara Crofton, from Rymer's \"Varney the Vampyre\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlice, from Turgenev's \"Phantoms\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVespertilia, from Crawford's \"A Mystery of the Campagna\" and Watson's \"Vespertilia\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Woman Who Did Not Care, from Kipling's \"A Fool There Was\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCountess Dolingen, from Stoker's \"Dracula's Guest\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 444\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.99 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 18, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42108630630535,"sku":"9781733569026","price":18.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/f8550bc5e045ab25ec612a928255ad3f.webp?v=1732467003","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/vampires-first-blood-volume-ii-the-vampire-ladies-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
