Unearthed from long forgotten journals and magazines, Andrew Barger
has found the very best vampire short stories from the first half
of the 19th century. They are collected for the first time in this
groundbreaking book on the origins of vampire lore. The cradle of
all vampire short stories in the English language is the first half
of the 19th century. Andrew Barger combed forgotten journals and
mysterious texts to collect the very best vintage vampire stories
from this crucial period in vampire literature. In doing so, Andrew
unearthed the second and third vampire stories originally published
in the English language, neither printed since their first
publication nearly 200 years ago. Also included is the first
vampire story originally written in English by John Polidori after
a dare with Lord Byron and Mary Shelley. The book contains the
first vampire story by an American who was a graduate of Columbia
Law School. The book further includes the first vampire stories by
an Englishman and German, including the only vampire stories by
such renowned authors as Alexander Dumas, Theophile Gautier and
Joseph le Fanu. As readers have come to expect from Andrew, he has
added his scholarly touch to this collection by including
annotations, story backgrounds, author photos and a foreword titled
"With Teeth."
