The Vampyre; a Tale by John William Polidori Two newcomers start attending London's high society parties. The first is Lord Ruthven. He is terribly pale but beautiful, and people find him interesting for his intense gaze and strange appearance. The other man is Aubrey, a handsome and cheerful man. He always manages to find the best in everyone he meets. Despite their differences, they decide to go on the journey together to explore Europe. When they travel through Rome, Lord Ruthven gambles and gives his money to the poor with vices, rather than to the needy. He is also trying to seduce an innocent young woman, although Aubrey tries to stop him. Aubrey leaves Ruthven and travels to Greece where he meets Ianthe, a beautiful Greek girl. He loves her and she tells him the legend of a vampire. One day, while Aubrey is riding his horse, he hears a scream and finds Ianthe's corpse. Her throat was ripped open, and all who see her corpse believe that it was the work of a vampire. Aubrey begins to have nightmares and pleads for mercy from the vampires and Ruthven. Aubrey meets Ruthven on his travels, as he does not link Ianthe's death to his arrival. When attacked by bandits, Ruthven receives a fatal wound and, on her deathbed, demands that Aubrey take an oath with her: she will not mention her death for a year and a day. When Aubrey returns to London, he meets Ruthven, surprisingly cured, who begins to seduce Aubrey's sister. They agree to marry, much to Aubrey's dismay, so much so that he falls ill and dies. Aubrey's sister also dies the night of the wedding.

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The purpose of realizing this historical context is to approach the understanding of a historical epoch from the elements provided by the text. Hence the importance of placing the document in context. It is necessary to unravel what its author or authors have said, how it has been said, when, why and where, always relating it to its historical moment.The summer of 1816, on the shores of Lake Leman, Mary Shelley, Percy B. Shelley, Lord Byron and the doctor of the latter, John William Polidori, each of them promised to write a mystery story similar to those of ghosts with those who entertained their leisure time in that rainy summer. Only the idea of an immortal work emerged from the challenge: Frankenstein or the modern Prometheus. And it also happened that Polidori, already removed from Lord Byron and returned to London, decided to try his luck in the world of letters by publishing his story The Vampire under the name of Byron; he publicly abominated the story while Polidori claimed himself as its author, which was true, although no less true was that he was inspired by the unfinished story that Lord Byron conceived to fulfill that evening. Polidori finally committed suicide in 1821 without having obtained any success in the field of literature, but with that story he established the figure of the vampire as we know it in Western tradition.

A Short and Chilling Romantic tale of the Legends of the Vampire “In many parts of Greece it is considered as a sort of punishment after death, for some heinous crime committed whilst in existence, that the deceased is not only doomed to vampyrise, but compelled to confine his infernal visitations solely to those beings he loved most while upon earth—those to whom he was bound by ties of kindred and affection.—A supposition alluded to in the "Giaour.” ― John William Polidori, The Vampyre; a Tale William Polidori is credited with creating the literary genre of romantic vampire fiction with his short story, The Vampyre.

"The Vampyre" is a short work of prose fiction written in 1819 by John William Polidori as part of a contest between Polidori, Mary Shelley, Lord Byron, and Percy Shelley. The same contest produced the novel Frankenstein. The Vampyre is often viewed as the progenitor of the romantic vampire genre of fantasy fiction. The work is described by Christopher Frayling as "the first story successfully to fuse the disparate elements of vampirism into a coherent literary genre."Aubrey, a young Englishman, meets Lord Ruthven, a man of mysterious origins who has entered London society. Aubrey accompanies Ruthven to Rome, but leaves him after Ruthven seduces the daughter of a mutual acquaintance. Aubrey travels to Greece, where he becomes attracted to Ianthe, an innkeeper's daughter. Ianthe tells Aubrey about the legends of the vampire.
