Aubrey, an orphaned young gentleman in possession of a large fortune arrives in London for the season where he meets the mysterious Lord Ruthven. &nbsp;Aubrey befriends Lord Ruthven and upon discovering that Lord Ruthven is planning a trip to Europe decides to take his grand tour at the same time and travel with him. &nbsp;The longer Aubrey is with Ruthven the more he discovers about him. &nbsp;He decides to distance himself from Ruthven but is he already too late to save all that he holds dear from the thirst of the vampire?<br /><br />&quot;The Vampyre&quot; is a short work of prose fiction written in 1819 by John William Polidori. &quot;The Vampyre&quot; was the first published story about vampires and went on to have a profound influence on famous works of fiction, including Bram Stoker&#39;s &quot;Dracula&quot;. Hence, the work is often viewed as the progenitor of the romantic vampire genre of fantasy fiction.<br /><br />Born in 1795, John Polidori shared his family&#39;s enthusiasm for literature. During his short life, Polidori became the friend and doctor or Romantic poet Lord Byron.&nbsp;<br />The two men travelled together in 1816 to Villa Diodati, Byron&#39;s home in Italy. Here, Polidori met another Romantic poet, Percy Bythe Shelley, and his fianc&eacute;, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin. To amuse themselves one summer evening, the group decided to compose frightening stories. While Godwin wrote a first draft of what would become the Gothic novel &quot;Frankenstein&quot;, Polidori composed &quot;The Vampyre&quot;, although some readers mistakenly assume Lord Byron was the author.
