From the publisher

A triptych of vampire stories to make your blood run cold, in a Little Black Classics edition

‘Twilight, in these southern climates, is almost unknown; immediately the sun sets, night begins’

Danger lurks in the dead of night. Written during the infamous gathering that also produced Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, John Polidori’s short story ‘The Vampyre’ travels across countries, twists and turns through treacherous forests, and reveals the perils of staying out after dark. It is accompanied here by two other classic tales of the vampire genre, by Karl Adolf von Waschmann and Bram Stroker.
