Editors’ Note: Dracula and Vampires in Literature, Film, and Popular Culture

Summary/Abstract: The articles included in this issue are the result of the 2023 edition of the Children of the Night International Dracula Congress, an annual event organised by Transilvania University of Brașov, Romania (Faculty of Sociology and Communication and Faculty of Letters), Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, Poland (Institute of Cultural Studies), and the State University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in collaboration with the Dracula Fun Club in Mexico. The contributions to this volume align with the thematic scope of Dracula Studies, the primary focus of the congress. However, the topics also extend into the broader realm of Gothic Studies, encompassing various aspects of research in this field, as well as Popular Culture Studies, with the umbrella topic of vampires in contemporary literature, film, and video games being ever relevant. The issue reflects the interdisciplinary richness and scholarly diversity of the Congress, offering fresh perspectives on Dracula and vampires at large, Gothic literature, audio-visual media and culture.
