Varney is a great character; by turns, terrifying, snarky, and tragic. The story is epic. I'm planning on re-reading it this summer. I suspect Stoker was familiar with it given certain similarities.
These kind of stories. Not vampire stories exactly. Have been around for centuries. Always the same. Evil lures easy victims and steal the life they would have lived. Almost always with men as the enchanter by violines, roses, songs, appearance. But also women as sirens. ...
.... today it seems like these stories are more or less about the alure of money. And rich people sucking the life they are meant to have out of poor people, children and all beauty purely for their own pleasures. Story the same. Only the means differs.
Also take a moment to read up on Carmilla.
... wasn't Der Vampir by Ignaz Ferdinand Arnold (1801, 3 vols.) the first vampire novel ever published?
Do you know of any copies, in paper or cloud like that I could get?
... to my knowledge no copy has survived.
Great find. I've never seen these.
Who makes coffins for Varney the Vampire? Bob the Builder, of course.
