1.0

I decided to read this short story due to it's place in literary history as the first western vampire story
But honestly 

do not read this if you want to enjoy your time

The author is far more invested in mocking his patients history of affairs and all around lack of morals rather then trying to write anything good

The only time you'll ever see the story progress is exclusively so the author can poorly insert another example of of how the vampire is evil

The narrator himself is only there to watch the the vampire be morally corrupt and have young women poorly shoved infrount of him to be killed off for shock value

This book should have stayed as a fun writing game between friends and never have left that house
