eBooks di John William Polidori editi da Diamond Book Publishing

Nacque a Londra nel 1795. Divenne dottore in medicina a diciannove anni, con una tesi sul sonnambulismo. Nel 1816 entrò a servizio di Lord Byron come suo medico personale e viaggiò insieme a lui, trascrivendo i loro viaggi sui suoi diari e taccuini, che sono stati pubblicati postumi dalla sorella. A Villa Diodati, residenza di Byron sul lago di Ginevra, Polidori incontrò anche Mary Shelley, Percy Bysshe Shelley e Claire Clairmont, i quali ispirarono la sua produzione. Noto soprattutto per il suo racconto Il vampiro e per la sua partecipazione al movimento romantico, morì nel 1821.

The VampyreShort Horror Story. E-book. Formato EPUB John William Polidori   -  Diamond Book Publishing, 2019  - 

This classic vampire story has inspired generations of authors, from Bram Stoker to Charlaine Harris. A young English gentleman of means, Aubrey is immediately intrigued by Lord Ruthven, the mysterious newcomer among society's elite. His unknown origin and curious behavior tantalizes Aubrey's imagination. But the young man soon discovers a sinister character hidden behind his new friend's glamorous facade. When the two are set upon by bandits while traveling together in Europe, Ruthven is fatally injured. Before drawing his last breath, he makes the odd request that Aubrey keep his death and crimes secret for a year and a day. But when Ruthven resurfaces in London—making overtures toward Aubrey's sister—Aubrey realizes this immortal fiend is a vampyre. John William Polidori's The Vampyre is both a classic tale of gothic horror and the progenitor of the modern romantic vampire myth that has been fodder for artists ranging from Anne Rice to Alan Ball to Francis Ford Coppola. Originally published in 1819, many decades before Bram Stoker's Dracula, and misattributed to Polidori's friend Lord Byron, The Vampyre has kept readers up at night for nearly two hundred years.
