Two Early Vampire Tales: John Polidori's The Vampyre & J. Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla by John William Polidori, J. Sheridan Le Fanu

3.25

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: Complicated

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Both of these stories are essential when it comes to vampires and vampiric horror. Although I found The Vampyre to be a bit difficult to understand, it still was an okay read. Carmilla, on the other hand, was better. Not only was it more understandable to read, but it is a queer classic too! Both stories are a must for anyone instructed in vampires/vampire history.
