Closely associated with the Romantic movement, John William Polidori is considered by many to be the creator of vampire fiction. His 1819 short story, 'The Vampyre', is widely accepted as the first vampire story ever written. Many of the earliest and most interesting vampire stories, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Autorenporträt
John William Polidori (1795-1821) was an English writer and physician, known for his involvement in the Romantic literary movement. Credited by some as the creator of the vampire genre, his novella 'The Vampyre' (1819) was the first modern vampire story. The text was written in the summer of 1816, as a result of a horror writing competition between himself and his literary friends. The same competition produced Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein' (1818).
