The House Of The Vampire

Bag om The House Of The Vampire

Viereck was an American poet, writer, and politician, and this novel is one of his notable literary works. The book is recognized as an early example of vampire fiction in American literature. The novel tells the story of a young writer named Horace Holly who befriends an enigmatic and charismatic man named Vladislaus Dragulia. As the narrative unfolds, it becomes clear that Vladislaus is not an ordinary man but rather a vampire. The plot explores the psychological and emotional dynamics between Holly and Dragulia, delving into themes of obsession, forbidden desires, and the supernatural.
