Synopsis

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. 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, The House 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.

Goodreads review by Osie on October 29, 2012

As you likely already know, this was one of the first psychic vampire stories ever. Somehow it has become a rumor that it is an erotic novel and features bisexual characters. It doesn’t, so don’t bother if that’s the only reason you want to read it. There are a few scenes that come off homoerotic, a......more

Beautifully written. Definitely got The Picture of Dorian Gray vibes. It is creepy in its own way, I loved this take on the vampire and how the powers worked.......more

Goodreads review by Kayla on October 12, 2022

An amazing concept, but I honestly wish it had been scarier, which I rarely say about anything ever. The feeling of suspense and tension was lacking. A nice hidden gem for October though.......more
