Présentation de l'éditeur
The unprecedented success of the romance of "Varney the Vampyre," leaves the Author but little to say further, than that he accepts that success and its results as gratefully as it is possible for any one to do popular favours. A belief in the existence of Vampyres first took its rise in Norway and Sweden, from whence it rapidly spread to more southern regions, taking a firm hold of the imaginations of the more credulous portion of mankind. The following romance is collected from seemingly the most authentic sources, and the Author must leave the question of credibility entirely to his readers, not even thinking that he is peculiarly called upon to express his own opinion upon the subject. Nothing has been omitted in the life of the unhappy Varney, which could tend to throw a light upon his most extraordinary career, and the fact of his death just as it is here related, made a great noise at the time through Europe and is to be found in the public prints for the year 1713. With these few observations, the Author and Publisher, are well content to leave the work in the hands of a public, which has stamped it with an approbation far exceeding their most sanguine expectations, and which is calculated to act as the strongest possible incentive to the production of other works, which in a like, or perchance a still further degree may be deserving of public patronage and support. To the whole of the Metropolitan Press for their laudatory notices, the Author is peculiarly obliged.
Biographie de l'auteur
The authorship of the Varney books is a bit of a mystery. Thomas Peckett Prest was known as the ""king of the bloods,"" although many scholars attribute the stories to James Malcolm Rymer, an equally famous writer of penny dreadfuls.

Soft cover. Etat : Good. Ex-Library two-volume set. Volume One has been rebound in library binding, and apart from the usual library treatments, is internally clean throughout. Volume Two has moderate edgwear, and diagonal crease to front cover, otherwise clean throughout. Complete in two volumes, facsimile reprint of the 1847 edition, with all woodcut illustrations. Classic early vampire novel, which has influenced many other vampire stories since, from Bram Stoker's Dracula, to TV's Dark Shadows. The most famous of the popular penny dreadfuls issued by the press of Edward Lloyd in the 1840's. This classic Dover edition, which was sold out immediately upon publication, contains an introduction by E.F. Bleiler placing Varney in historical context, as well as a n ote on authorship, establishing a strong argument for Rymer as the author. N° de réf. du vendeur 16021
