The combination of excessive citation alongside narrative shift gestures towards a reclamation of the lesbian vampire within queer horror, as the author weaves textual analysis and scholarly debate around lesbianisms queerness and homonormativity to reveal the cultural salience of the violent lesbian, and of the queer fears and pleasures she evokes. Beyond the Lesbian Vampire is a vital contribution to lesbian studies, horror studies, queer studies and feminist studies.
