About this ebook
A Short and Chilling Romantic tale of the Legends of the Vampire
“In many parts of Greece it is considered as a sort of punishment after death, for some heinous crime committed whilst in existence, that the deceased is not only doomed to vampyrise, but compelled to confine his infernal visitations solely to those beings he loved most while upon earth—those to whom he was bound by ties of kindred and affection.—A supposition alluded to in the "Giaour.” ― John William Polidori, The Vampyre

While the writing is often poetic in nature and worthy of some admiration, it is a structurally difficult read with choppy and very long sentences and paragraphs even for the time. In the very short format, the story feels undeservedly hasty as well. This edition starts with an excerpt of a letter about the writing of this and other works of horror from the time (conceived among a group of authors including Mary Shelley, who would then write Frankenstein), which was a very interesting introduction.
