  Nina Auerbach shows how every age embraces the vampire it needs, and gets the vampire it deserves. Working with a wide range of texts, as well as movies and television, Auerbach locates vampires at the heart of our national experience and uses them as a lens for viewing the last two hundred years of Anglo-American cultural history.“[Auerbach] has seen more Hammer movies than I (or the monsters) have had steaming hot diners, encountered more bloodsuckers than you could shake a stick at, even a pair of crossed sticks, such as might deter a very sophisticated ogre, a hick from the Moldavian boonies....Auerbach has dissected and deconstructed them with the tender ruthlessness of a hungry chef, with cogency and wit.”—Eric Korn, Times Literary Supplement”This seductive work offers profound insights into many of the urgent concerns of our time and forces us to confront the serious meanings that we invest, and seek, in even the shadiest manifestations of the eroticism of death.”—Wendy Doniger, The Nation”A vigorous, witty look at the undead as cultural icons.”—Kirkus Review”In case anyone should think this book is merely a boring lit-crit exposition...Auerbach sets matters straight in her very first paragraph. ’What vampires are in any given generation,’ she writes, ’is a part of what I am and what my times have become. This book is a history of Anglo-American culture through its mutating vampires.’...Her book really takes off.”—Maureen Duffy, New York Times Book Review

Struck by her mysterious resemblance to his spectral muse, he follows her until he can't resist the urge to approach her, revealing his paintings. To his astonishment, she is captivated by the likeness and intrigued by his devotion.

  THE USUAL SUSPECTS 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY BRYAN SINGER 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  The Usual Suspects is a 1995 neo-noir thriller directed by Bryan Singer. The film follows the interrogation of Roger "Verbal" Kint, a small-time con artist, after a violent heist on a docked ship leaves multiple criminals dead. Kint narrates the story of how he and his crew were manipulated by a mysterious and legendary crime lord, Keyser Söze. As the investigation unfolds, the narrative is built through flashbacks, unreliable narration, and intricate plot twists. The movie explores themes of deception, criminal manipulation, and the blurred lines between truth and lies, keeping viewers on edge until the final moments. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Christopher McQuarrie had previously worked for a detective agency, and this influenced the depiction of criminals and law enforcement officials in the script.” 
    
  “Benicio Del Toro's bizarre dialect in the film was reportedly so unintelligible that during one scene, Stephen Baldwin actually forgot his cue due to being unable to understand what Del Toro had said.” 
    
  “The part of Verbal Kint was always intended for actor Kevin Spacey.” 
    
  “The idea for this movie started only with the concept of a movie poster of five men in a lineup.” 
    
  “All the actors were encouraged to ad lib perplexed reactions to Benicio Del Toro's oddball vocal stylings.”
