One
of the first psychic vampire novels of its time - where the vampire
feeds off of more than just blood - The House of the Vampire
is an early classic in its genre. Republished in this new edition, this
Victorian novel operates in the continuum of life and death. What has
been can be again, though often terribly transformed. Energetically
inventive and infused with a relish for the supernatural, especially
the trappings of the dark,TheHouse of the Vampire
delivers a horror which we know does not - but none the less conceivably
might - exist and threaten ourselves. Blurring the lines between fact
and fiction, The House of the Vampire is considered a classic
among Victorian Gothic stories. He felt the presence of the hand of
Reginald Clarke - unmistakably - groping in his brain as if searching
for something that had still escaped him. He tried to move, to cry out,
but his limbs were paralysed. When, by a superhuman effort, he at last
succeeded in shaking off the numbness that held him enchained, he awoke
just in time to see a figure, that of a man, disappearing in the wall
that separated Reginald's apartments from his room....
