Description
VARNEY THE VAMPIRE OR THE FEAST OF BLOOD Part Two. A ROMANCE OF EXCITING INTEREST James Malcolm Rymer AUTHOR OF "GRACE RIVERS, OR, THE MERCHANT'S DAUGHTER." "Art thou a spirit of health or goblin damned?" The classic 1847 Victorian Serial by James Malcolm Rymer. Varney the Vampire first appeared in weekly 'penny dreadful' installments which were gathered into a complete volume in 1847, the year Bram Stoker was born. Sold for a penny a chapter on the streets of London in 1845, Varney the Vampire is a milestone of Vampire fiction, yet ignored and overlooked for nearly 100 years, until now! For a decade or two it was enormously popular and extracts have appeared in vampire anthologies ever since. And almost certainly it inspired Stoker to write Dracula.
