legends

A new twist on an old urban legend.

The literary vampire first appeared in poetry, before becoming the stock figure of gothic fiction with the publication of Polidori’s The Vampyre (1819).

An excellent blog post, great for research!

Is there anybody out there interested in tales of yore besides me? Because if there is, this is an awesome site. It’s really nicely done, with poets, paladins, princes and fairy tales galore. Serious Robin Hood and King Arthur fans will love it.
