这本书为9/11后吸血鬼的出现提供了一个独特的论点，展示了美国文化中对身份和宗教的变化视角，让人们看到了如何用文化叙事来应对创伤。长期以来，文化叙事在调解困难和政治敏感的话题方面一直发挥着宝贵的作用。克里斯蒂娜·威尔金斯(Christina Wilkins)探讨了吸血鬼这个形象在现代叙事中是如何被使用的，以及它与以前的化身(尤其是在美国叙事中)相比是如何发生变化的。几个世纪以来，吸血鬼一直是一种文化主食，但随着现代美国吸血鬼的兴起，这一形象的概念可以说已经美国化了。威尔金斯研究了文化表征中明显的变化，以及它们如何有效地调解创伤和身份问题的改变方法。通过运用具有文化意义的隐喻手法，这本书为读者提供了思考新视角、推动重要讨论的机会，同时也阐明了社会态度的变化。

关于童话隐喻用法的最新发展是法律视角。法律过去和现在都求助于童话故事，以谈论nomos及其颠覆、政治正确和用于执行法律的各种手段。童话故事是检验法律程序和法律结构诸多缺陷和错误的基本工具。因此，我们特别使用法律的“寓言”一词，只是为了强调伦理的观点:它们是道德寓言，经常讲述的是正义的失当和正义的追求。法律and jurists are creators of "fables" on the view that law is born out of the facts (ex facto ius oritur) so that there is a need for narrative coherence both on the level of the case and the level of legislation (or turned the other way around: what does it mean if no such coherence is found?). This is especially of interest given the influx of all kinds of new technologies that are "fabulous" in themselves and hard to incorporate in traditional doctrinal schemes and thus in the construction of a new reality.
