5.0 out of 5 stars The grand-daddy of all modern vampire stories., 7 April 2001

By A Customer

This short story, written by one-time physician to the poet Byron, John Polidori, was published a full 78 years before Bram Stoker's Dracula. It is also the first vampire story to associate the blood-suckers with the upper-classes, as is so often done nowadays. Whilst this story lacks the historical backing of Dracula, the emotional art of Interview With The Vampire and the sheer action of Buffy, it is nonetheless an engaging tale. The story follows a man named Aubrey, who soon comes to understand that his mentor Lord Ruthven is no ordinary man. Aubrey's struggle against the vampire and those who think him mad is brilliantly but succinctly layed out by Polidori. This particular publication of the tale comes in the form of a map-like sheet which can be opened fully, or partially, in the latter of which it becomes a 20 page short book. I cannot recommend this strongly enough to anyone interested in either Gothic horror or vampires specifically.
