THE HOUSE OF THE VAMPIRE
Book Details + Condition: Arno Press (New York). First Edition thus, 1976. Part of Arno Press' hard-to-find "Supernatural & Occult Fiction" collection. Facsimile reprint of the original publication by George Sylvester Viereck, originally released in 1907. Hardcover with purple boards and silver titling to front and spine. 190 pages. The book details how a young writer comes under the powerful influence of a mysterious older master, who seems to have left a trail of ruined proteges in his wake. The story is as much about the nature of artistic creation as it is a chilling vampire tale. Originally published in 1907, "The House of the Vampire" is notable as one of the first psychic vampire stories, as well as the first known gay (or specifically, bisexual) vampire story.
From the massive occult collection of King Lawrence Parker - academic, dissertation author, and book collector extraordinaire. Book is in near-new, unread condition, with firm binding, bright boards, and a clean interior. Please see our other listings for more rare Arno Press publications.
