Abstract
This paper will deal with immortality and the fear of death as embodied in the vampire: its construction, its body, and its pop culture eminence. The impetus for this line of thought began with our reading of White Noise, where Jack and his wife are consumed by their fear of death, a death that becomes more imminent and concrete with the introduction of the "airborne toxic event." Their fear of death drives them to the novel's tragic end.
