The Vampyre - a Tale John William Polidori

A Rare Treasure of English Literature. Much before Bram Stoker?s Dracula, there was ?The Vampyre: A Tale,? first published in 1819. Created in the summer of 1816 by Dr. John William Polidori, Lord Byron?s physician and a close friend of Frankenstein?s author Mary Shelly, ?The Vampyre? tells a fascinating tale of vampirism in the early 19th century. Part of the project Immortal Literature Series of classic literature, this is a new edition of the classic work published in 1819 - not a facsimile reprint. Obvious typographical errors have been carefully corrected and the entire text has been reset and redesigned to enhance readability.
