«The Vampyre and Other Tales of the Macabre» is John Polidori's anthology of Gothic tales, published by Oxford University Press in paperback.
The title story, «The Vampyre», arose from the same ghost-story contest in which Mary Shelley wrote «Frankenstein»; this anthology gathers thirteen other macabre tales published between 1819 and 1838, featuring authors such as James Hogg, Sheridan Le Fanu, Letitia Landon, and Edward Bulwer.
Edited by Robert Morrison and Chris Baldick for Oxford World's Classics; 320 pages in English. Includes an introduction and appendices with Lord Byron's «Augustus Darvell».
For readers of Gothic horror classics and nineteenth-century mystery literature.
John William Polidori was an English writer and medical doctor. He is known for his associations with the Romantic movement and credited by some as the creator of the vampire genre of fantasy fiction.
