    Before Dracula, There Was Ruthven | The Vampyre - A Full Midnight Horror Story

    Do not listen alone after midnight. Before Dracula, before Interview with the Vampire, before Nosferatu - there was Lord Ruthven. Welcome to Midnight Story Collection - Episode 001, where every story is told complete, from beginning to its terrifying end in one sitting. We open the vault with the one that started it all: The Vampyre; a Tale by John William Polidori (1819). Written during that infamous stormy summer at Lake Geneva with Lord Byron and Mary Shelley - the same night Frankenstein was born - this is the first vampire story ever published in English prose. Polidori didn't just write a monster story. He is credited as the progenitor of the romantic vampire genre, transforming folklore's filthy creature into the pale, aristocratic, irresistibly seductive antihero that still dominates today. A story so powerful it had a profound influence on Bram Stoker's Dracula. It was first published without his permission in April 1819 as "A Tale by Lord Byron"- because even then, the name Ruthven was too dangerous to ignore. The Story:Young Aubrey is fascinated by the cold, charming nobleman Lord Ruthven and follows him across Europe. Wherever Ruthven goes, young women waste away and men die under mysterious circumstances. Bound by a terrible oath of silence, Aubrey must watch as Ruthven sets his sights on the one person Aubrey loves most - his own sister. Is he already too late? This Episode:00:05 The Vampyre; a Tale - Complete Adapted Story Perfect for fans of: Nosferatu (2024), Dracula, Interview with the Vampire, Gothic Horror, Dark Academia, and classic cozy horror to fall asleep to. Vampire fiction is currently trending as a top fiction podcast on Spotify, and this is where it all began.
