the origin of the vampire stories

For those who are interested in the Gothic genre I propose the reading of the first "vampire" story: "The Vampire" by John William POLIDORI, published in 1819...

For the Italian version click here.

We have to wait until 1897 for the pubblication of DRACULA by Bram Stoker, the most representative novel of the sub-genre.

Enjoy it!
