The Vampires of London (1852) is a nested series of contes cruels
aggregated into a quintessentially Romantic roman frenetique, and
one of the most excessive and convoluted works of that kind. Some
of the scenes featuring the necrophilic vampire Lord Lodore or the
one in which a young man tries to pimp his sick sister to a
resurrectionist are masterpieces of the grotesque. Angelo de Sorr
(1822-1881), the son of a family of vine-growers in Bordeaux, made
his debut as a novelist in 1848 and eventually went on to build a
substantial career, working as a writer for various periodicals and
eventually publishing more than a dozen novels, as well as becoming
a successful publisher himself.
