The literary vampire first appeared in 18th-century poetry before becoming one of the mainstay figures of gothic fiction. The notion of such lore was originally seen in literature with the publication of John William Polidori's The Vampyre in 1819. His story was inspired by the life and legend of Lord Byron. Byron, a romantic poet in England, had challenged his intelligentsia writer friends to a contest to produce the best horror story. From this lot came Frankenstein by a young Mary Shelley, but the friendly competition also gave us this first fictive vampire story presented here. Polidori's work of fiction romanticized the vampire for the first time and went on to inspire many other writers after the fact. Inside this book, you will find other early vampire tales written long before the now-infamous Dracula by Bram Stoker. Stoker borrowed many themes and elements from these collected short stories himself, as have other literary artists over time. This edition includes The Vampyre by Polidori, along with Carmilla by J. Le Fanu and Robert Louis Stevenson's Olalla. These three featured short stories have all been heavily influential on the genre.

Before the Count offers a corrective to the history of the literary vampire presenting a collection of other vampire tales written before Dracula. Some of the poems, plays, and stories included here are indeed melodramatic and perhaps even histrionic, but they offer important insight into the development of the vampire mythos in England from its literary beginning until the publication of Bram Stoker's novel. In so doing, it offers both scholars and students the opportunity to study the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century literary vampire in a more complete context. Included in this edition are excerpts from the early British newspaper accounts of vampires, the English translation of Dom Augustin Calment's book, and Lord Byron's "Fragment" in order to illustrate the genesis of John Polidori's The Vampyre a well as J. R. Planch's 1820 revision of the French play Le Vampire by Peirre Carmouche, Charles Nodier, and Achilles de Jouffroy, itself a revision of Polidori's story; Johann Wolfgang Goethe's The Bride of Corinth, Dion Boucicault's The Phantom, George Blink's The Vampire Bride and Rudyard Kipling's The Vampire.

The Vampire is now a staple of modern culture. Seen in films, comics, posters, books and countless other places and products, his presence has become ubiquitous. Despite this, the origin of this mythical creature remains obscure. When? In what circumstances did this character enter the world of fiction? Included in this collection are several stories that were written in the 19th century. They represent some of the earliest appearances of vampires in written form. The Vampyre is considered by many to be the first ever vampire short story ever written. Carmilla, a gothic novella published 25 years before Dracula, contains themes of lesbian attraction and aristocratic depredation that must have been controversial at the time. Clarimonde is the story of a priest who is troubled in his faith when he falls in love with a mysterious woman. Collectively these stories represent a remarkable creative outburst that would give birth to the unnerving and endearing Vampire.
