House of the Vampire

First published in 1907, 'The House of the Vampire' by George Sylvester Viereck, a German-American poet, writer, and pro-German propagandist. One of the first psychic vampire novels of its time where the vampire feeds off of more than just blood The House of the Vampire is an early classic in its genre. Republished in this new edition, this Victorian novel operates in the continuum of life and death. What has been can be again, though often terribly transformed. Energetically inventive and infused with a relish for the supernatural, especially the trappings of the dark, The House of the Vampire delivers a horror that we know does not but nonetheless conceivably might exist and threaten ourselves. Blurring the lines between fact and fiction, it is considered a classic among Victorian Gothic stories.
