The Vampyre: With 12 Illustrations and a Free Audio Link.

The Vampyre is a short work of prose fiction written in 1819 by John William Polidori. The work is often viewed as the original romantic vampire genre of fantasy fiction.

The story was an immediate popular success, partly because of the Byron acknowledgment and because it introduced gothic horror to the public. Polidori transformed the vampire from a character in folklore into the form that is recognized today – an aristocratic fiend who preys among high society.
