Although filmic production was broad and varied, two main cinematic vampire strands typical of popular Spanish cinema of the late 1960s and 1970s are identified: erotic horror and comedy. It begins by considering the introduction of vampires to Spain through imported, foreign literary models and moves on to the specific contextual and industrial coordinates that determined the contents and intrinsic qualities of vampire films. This chapter constitutes the first comprehensive study of vampires during the golden age of Spanish horror cinema.

“When characterising the work, one more aspect of the research methodology should be mentioned.

The author perceives the image of emperors as consisting both of their direct description (personality, virtues and vices, as well as their appearance etc.) and indirect depiction – extrapolated from their policies and events that took place during their reign, which could be treated by Evagrius as the result of their rule.

Then, remembering my promise, I decided that circumstances advised me to adopt what in detective novels is termed a different modus operandi.

But just as Foster’s Modern Ireland 1600-1972 is an excellent synthesis of a bigger story, so A Death-Dealing Famine brings together much of the recent writing on the Famine. She will not like the first description, for Foster is the arch-revisionist, not a species that finds favour with Dr Kinealy, since revisionists seek to remove blame from considerations of Ireland’s past and Kinealy is very strong on blame. At one level she assumes the role of the Roy Foster of Famine history and at another the mantle of a modern Cecil Woodham-Smith. Dr Kinealy seems to be striving to achieve two things simultaneously. Her new work, A Death-Dealing Famine, is a curate’s-egg sort of a book. But there are also good local studies and collections of contemporary documents, a few fine reflective essays, and some carefully crafted monographs, including Christine Kinealy’s 1994 volume, This Great Calamity.
