Review Quotes: Hudson is building a reputation as a leading scholar on culture and globalization, and he here uses the figure of the vampire to explore issues of postcolonialism, migratory movements, and social difference...he has produced a fresh and original contribution to scholarship that should be of great interest to scholars interested in vampire media, transnational approaches to Hollywood, and the politics of race representation.--Iain Robert Smith "This Year's Work in Critical and Cultural Theory (2018)"
