Beschreibung
Presented here are three of the most celebrated and terrifying examples of early "vampire fiction," presented by the authors who are responsible for having invented the genre. In this collection are the classic novels "Dracula," by Bram Stoker, "Carmilla" by Sheridan Le Fanu and "The Vampyre" by John William Polidori, the seminal tales of the undead, as originally conceived and published by their creators.
First, perhaps the most famous vampire tale of all, Bram Stoker's legendary story of the King of the Vampires himself: Count Dracula. When a young man travels to Transylvania to assist in a routine business transaction, he finds himself drawn into a dark tale of obsession, supernatural horror and bloody murder.
Next, we have Sheridan Le Fanu's fantastical tale of a lonely girl who is seduced by a beguiling young companion, the titular vampiress "Carmilla." Predating "Dracula" by twenty-five years, this is one of the earliest examples of vampire fiction and the first to explore the idea of a young, female vampire.
Finally, we end where it all began with "The Vampyre," by John William Polidori, which might just be the first vampire book ever written. Conceived of on the same night that Mary Shelley invented the characters for her book "Frankenstein," Polidori's short tale of the undead has gone on to become of the most celebrated horror stories of all time.
Three tales of horror and suspense, "The Classic Vampire Collection" is a must-read for all fans of horror fiction. These three classic works are presented here in their original and unabridged format.
