Rezensionen

"There is a real wealth of different topics here that often strays beyond strictly Dracula and would be a suitable resource to vampire or Gothic studies in general. ... For those teaching Dracula it would be a great text to set on the reading list for courses that focused on any of the above. Individual chapters would also be a fantastic resource for anyone ... ." (Matthew Crofts, Revenant, revenantjournal.com, Issue 9, 2023)

"Dracula: An International Perspective offers a kaleidoscopic view of how Dracula has generated new discourses within the Gothic and how it keeps influencing even our everyday reality. It should be an essential item in libraries of colleges and universities where Stoker's vampire classic is on the reading list, for it indeed presents a variety of new perspectives of this neveraging novel." (Ildikó Limpár, Hungarian Journalof English and American Studies, Vol. 25 (1), 2019)
