About this listen
Long lost to the public in out-of-print pulp magazines, dusty Victorian anthologies, and the pages of now defunct newspapers, these vintage vampire stories have truly proved immortal.
Resurrected now for the year 2011, this is a stunning collection of nineteenth-century vampire stories by heavyweights such as Sabine Baring-Gould and Bram Stoker. These rare stories are arranged in chronological order from 1846 to 1913 and are compiled by two of the world's leading vampire anthologists and experts.

Editor reviews
Performer Gildart Jackson's deep voice and British accent recalls a younger Vincent Price, and adds real ghoulish drama to this collection of bloodsucking tales from near and far. Alongside more familiar names such as Bram Stoker and Sabine Baring-Gould, there are tales from Pu Songling of China, Mary Fortune of Australia, George Whyte-Melville of Scotland, and more. All are presented with an in-depth introduction that adds context to the tale. Some stories involve a more subtle spook while others are more action-oriented, but all are likely to give you a delicious chill. A spine-tingling treat for fans of the vampire genre and supernatural horror in general.

Entertaining
Really liked the stories, narration and delivery.
It's interesting to hear the concepts from a century ago and it's somehow satisfying to know that people were looking for thrills with spooky stories. Although the I bet they were much more scarier by candle light.

Some excellent stories.
There are some excellent stories, some are of historical interest only, in my opinion.However, I listened all through and some I have gone back to listen again, one story 3 times.GJ Whyte Melville’s story ( chapter 7) is one of the best vampire stories I have ever read.Beautiful narration, just perfect for these supernatural stories.
