{"product_id":"the-transmedia-vampire-simon-bacon-9781476675749","title":"The Transmedia Vampire: Essays on Technological Convergence and the Undead","description":"\u003cp\u003e This book explores vampire narratives that have been expressed across multiple media and new technologies. Stories and characters such as Dracula, Carmilla and even Draculaura from \u003ci\u003eMonster High\u003c\/i\u003e have been made more \"real\" through their depictions in narratives produced in and across different platforms. This also allows the consumer to engage on multiple levels with the \"vampire world,\" blurring the boundaries between real and imaginary realms and allowing for different kinds of identity to be created while questioning terms such as \"author,\" \"reader,\" \"player\" and \"consumer.\" These essays investigate the consequences of such immersion and why the undead world of the transmedia vampire is so well suited to life in the 21st century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Bacon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476675740\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476675749\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/22\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.82h x 5.83w x 0.55d","brand":"Simon Bacon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993807552767,"sku":"9781476675749","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6dac669b-0de6-4d88-8a5f-123612b7b34a.jpg?v=1683326432","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-transmedia-vampire-simon-bacon-9781476675749","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
