Being a huge fan of Dracula when I stumbled across this. I just had to read it. Being written 25 years before Dracula I wanted to see if there would be any outstanding similarities between the two. Other than the vampire norms I didn't see anything. There was strong lesbian overtures. I have to think for the time this must have been very risqué.
