In early 19th-century London, a young gentleman named Aubrey meets Lord Ruthven, a foreign nobleman whose hypnotic presence inspires both admiration and suspicion. Their friendship turns into a deadly trap when Aubrey discovers that Ruthven is not a man, but a ruthless vampire. Published in 1819, John William Polidori's 'The Vampyre' inaugurated the modern vampire myth: aristocratic, seductive, and lethal. Inspired by the literary gatherings at Villa Diodati, this foundational work remains a cornerstone of gothic and fantastic literature.
