Review of 'The Vampyre; a Tale' on 'Goodreads'

Composed of 3 shorts, the middle-story the most compelling. It's groundbreaking but not very frightening. Polidori apparently wrote this in the same writing group with Mary Shelley, Percy Shelley, and Lord Byron, not bad company at all, must have been competitive.
