Hey I just read your post about the vampire myth being an amalgam of antisemitic cultural anxieties and was very intrigued. Would you be able to point me towards any academic literature that talks more about the evolution of the vampire mythos through a Jewish historical lens?
the seminal paper on this afaik is "circumcising dracula" (weinstock 2001), which discusses medieval antisemitism and the rise of the vampire myth in that original context; if you have any academic or free jstor access you should be able to find it. that's much more interested in the like cultural context out of which these social anxieties arose and overlapped.
one of my friends just linked me an interesting and very recent paper titled "from dracula to the motminadim" (weininger 2023) that's more interested in the modern pop cultural interpretation and reception of the vampire in and around jewish spaces which i read the abstract of and promptly lost in all my tabs, but which may be more what you're interested in?
