The Vampyre, an early-1800s vampire novella

3 stars

Because it was written over 200 years ago it definitely has some interesting stylistic choices that make it hard to get through. It is interesting seeing which parts of the vampire mythology existed in the early 1800s in Britain, when/where it was written. It is a novella so a short read. I didn't fall in love with it though.
