Set against the backdrop of early 19th-century literary circles, this groundbreaking work marks the first English vampire story. John William Polidori, a physician and Lord Byron's personal doctor, crafted it after a night of ghost story readings among prominent writers. Inspired by Byron's abandoned tale, Polidori created a compelling narrative that explores themes of seduction and the supernatural, establishing foundational elements of vampire lore in literature.
