In 1675, a female vampire possessing the secret of immortality was
burned alive. Forty-five years later, during a dinner at the table
of the French Regent, her then-lover, Marquis de la Roche-Maubert,
discovers that another guest, Chevalier d'Esparron, is in love with
the same immortal woman. However, her attraction to him is not to
satisfy her hunger for blood, but to implement one of the greatest
secrets of alchemy: the transmutation of lead into gold
Pierre-Alexis Ponson du Terrail (1829-1871) was a French popular
writer and a master of the serialized novel, having penned over 200
such works in 20 years. He is justly famous for his character of
Rocambole and his ground-breaking horror novel, The Vampire and the
Devil's Son (1852). The Immortal Woman (1852) is a forgotten
masterpiece of early vampire fiction, and another of Ponson's
classic flirtations with the supernatural.
