The Vampyre; A Tale by John William Polidori
3.0
There was a review I saw before said that this is one of those pieces of literature where the story behind the work was more interesting than the actual work, and I have to agree with that sentiment.
While I enjoy Vampire stories, especially the older more classic stories, this one was just a little lacklustre which could be put down to the fact that it is a short story, so there isn’t as much room for embellishment.
It could have been a lot better if it was just slightly longer, and if the story had just been expanded on slightly.
Definitely think that Mary Shelley was the winner of the writing contest with her, Byron, Polidori and her husband. What a woman.
