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 19th-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.

Editorial 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.

I liked the stories, but SPOOK me, PLEASE! The stories were enjoyable but no suspense in them. I'm looking for the creep factor!

As a big vampire lore and fic fan, it was cool to listen to some old lesser known ones without all the stuff that can get annoying with modern stories. I have no issues with the narration, i just knocked off a star bc only some of the stories held my attention, others were hard to stick with.

Interesting listen

This is a veritable treasury of old vampire stories. Much from the time before the classics. Some amongst them are excellent, and almost all more interesting than the more contemporary writings.

Do not expect jump scares. These are mostly slow moving tales of seductive and hypnotic vampires, mysteries that the hero tries to solve rather than battles he or she fights in open. Some of them are also rather humorous.

The reader is excellent. It often feels incredible that all stories are read by the same person.
