Set against the backdrop of early 19th-century literary circles, this groundbreaking tale introduces one of the first vampire characters in English literature. Written by John William Polidori, who served as Lord Byron's physician, it emerged from a creative challenge among writers inspired by ghost stories. While Mary Shelley began her iconic work, Polidori crafted a chilling narrative that would influence the genre for generations to come, establishing key themes of seduction and the supernatural.
