Abstract
<![CDATA[Taking off from the frequent charge that adaptations are like vampires preying on their progenitor texts, this essay presses the analogy between adaptations and vampires in five areas – the parasitism of vampires, their status as morally equivocal figures, the communicative or contagious nature of vampirism, vampires as collaborators and the performative nature of vampirism – in order to consider what they suggest about the nature of adaptation.]]>
