Blood of the Vampire

"The Blood of the Vampire" (1897) was overshadowed by the publication of DRACULA in the same year. Marryat's vampire is strikingly different from Bram Stoker's vampires: she is female and drains her victims' life force, rather than their blood. A remarkable novel that holds up well for modern reading.

„Sangele vampirului” (1897) a fost umbrit de publicarea DRACULA in acelasi an. Vampirul lui Marryat este deosebit de diferit de vampirii lui Bram Stoker: este femeie si dreneaza forta vietii victimelor, mai degraba decat sangele lor.
