About this product

Product Information

Even in the twenty-first century, the undead walk among us...Before Twilight and True Blood , vampires haunted the nineteenth century, when brilliant writers indulged their bloodthirsty imaginations, culminating in Bram Stoker's legendary 1897 novel, Dracula . Acclaimed author and anthologist Michael Sims brings together the finest vampire stories of the Victorian era in a unique collection that highlights their cultural variety. Beginning with the supposedly true accounts that captivated Byron and Shelley, the stories range from Aleksei Tolstoy's tale of a vampire family to Fitz James O'Brien's invisible monster to Mary Elizabeth Braddon's rich and sinister widow, Good Lady Ducayne. Sims also includes a nineteenth-century travel tour of Transylvanian superstitions, and finishes the collection with Stoker's own Dracula's Guest - a chapter omitted from his landmark novel. Vampires captivated Victorian society, and these wonderful stories demonstrate how Romantic and Victorian writers refined the raw ore of peasant superstition into a whole vampire mythology of aristocratic decadence and innocence betrayed.

    Outstanding show of customer service from this seller. Before the item was posted, I was informed by the seller that the product I had ordered was of a quality below standard which did not reflect the quality that was advertised. To this end, the seller offered for me to pick another item of similar value (which ended up being a more expensive item where I did not need to pay the gap). The item was shipped immediately, and in immaculate condition. EXCELLENT SERVICE.
