Vampires are usually associated in the popular imagination with Transylvania and other Eastern European locales. But in this new collection, editor ???lvaro Garc???a Mar???n has uncovered the earliest appearances of vampires in English literature, revealing their surprising origin in Greece. This volume includes two seminal classic texts, Lord Byron's "Fragment of a Novel" and John William Polidori's "The Vampyre", together with five other rare and never-before-reprinted vampire tales from the early 19th century, including the important and inexplicably neglected "The Vampire of Vourla".
