    Save:

    An intriguing slice of literary history - short, atmospheric, and essential for vampire genre fans, but your mileage may vary if you prefer modern storytelling or a thrill-a-minute read.

    'The Vampyre: A Tale' by John William Polidori is a short Gothic story written in 1819 which tells the tale of Lord Ruthven, a charming and mysterious vampire, and Aubrey, a young aristocrat who becomes entangled in his dark web.
