The Vampyre, by John William Polidori

3.0

This has the precise energy of a kid at an elementary-school campout trying to remember the scariest story he's ever heard but he's really sheltered and can't remember half of it so he makes stuff up until he finally remembers the punchline and then everyone just kind of stares at him until the teacher goes, "Oh my goodness, John, I'm so scared!" in the most earnest of tones and the rest of the kids either pick up on the teacher's cue or start laughing. Byron laughs first. MWS pretends it's scary while thinking "lol weak." PBS just kind of blinks. Claire Clairmont sort of giggles but she's totally actually freaked out.

He tried, and the attempt itself was cute, so E for effort.
