“Upon her neck and breast was blood, and upon her throat were the marks of teeth having opened the vein…”
Dr. Polidori’s “The Vampyre” was first published #OTD 1 April 1819 (April Fools’ Day). It was falsely attributed to Lord Byron. Only later editions carried Polidori’s name.
On this day in 1816 the first fictional vampire in English emerged from its lair. We made it the subject of our latest book 'The Legacy of John Polidori: the Romantic Vampire and its Progeny' out now @GothicMUP
