THE VAMPYRE
Their skin deathly pale, their nails curved like claws, their fangs sharpened for the attack, they are gathered fior the kill, and for the chill, tonight at The Seanchai Library.
Tonights story 'The Vampyre' written in 1816 by John Polidori is the proto-vampire story that formed the structure for all following vampire stories including Le Fanu's 'Carmilla' and Stoker's 'Dracula'. Pre-dating even Joss Whedon's seminal work.
