6. Afterword

‘Afterword’ closes with an overview of a few of the many varieties of modern horror, and argues that the incorporation of horror within consumer culture threatens to diminish its edgy appeal. Examples include the supposedly Gothic romances following on from the success of the Twilight series, which are anything but scary or disturbing. There are many ways in which horror reflects our contemporary concerns and anxieties, from corporate culture to shifting geopolitics, race relations, and particularly environmental concerns. How about online horror and its emblematic monster, the Slender Man? What role does horror have under COVID-19?

Vampiros Mexicanos

This chapter contrasts best-selling and critically acclaimed twenty-first century Mexican novels about vampires, exploring their conflicting messages about gender and sexuality and comparing this continuum to the history of vampire literature in English and its contemporary influences, such as the Twilight series. It argues that the recent surge of vampire novels in Mexico stems from contemporary struggles to redefine gender and sexuality in the wake of the country’s legalization of abortion in the capital, its LGBT movement, and the strong mandates of the Catholic Church and state governments. The examples of Vampyr (2009) by Carolina Andújar, Amantes de Sangre (2009) by Ramón Obón and La sed (2001) by Adriana DíazEnciso illustrate both the dominant conservative discourses on sexuality and the more recent acceptance of previously marginalized behaviors and identities.
