'Twilight, in these southern climates, is almost unknown; immediately the sun sets, night begins' Danger lurks in the dead of night. In a world in which rumour is rife and vampires roam, who can you trust? Written during the notorious gathering that produced Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, John Polidori's story 'The Vampyre' travels across countries, twists and turns through treacherous forests, and reveals the dangers of staying out after dark. It is accompanied here by two other classic tales of the genre.
