Vampire literature covers the spectrum of literary work concerned principally with the subject of vampires. The literary vampire first appeared in 18th-century poetry, before becoming one of the stock figures of gothic fiction with the publication of Polidori 's The Vampyre , which was inspired by the life and legend of Lord Byron. Later influential works include the penny dreadful Varney the Vampire ; Sheridan Le Fanu 's tale of a lesbian vampire , Carmilla , and the most well known: Bram Stoker 's Dracula Some authors created a more "sympathetic vampire", with Varney being the first, [1] and more recent examples such as Moto Hagio 's series The Poe Clan — and Anne Rice 's novel Interview with the Vampire proving influential. Vampire fiction is rooted in the "vampire craze" of the s and s, which culminated in the somewhat bizarre official exhumations of suspected vampires Petar Blagojevich and Arnold Paole in Serbia under the Habsburg monarchy. One of the first works of art to touch upon the subject is the short German poem The Vampire by Heinrich August Ossenfelder , where the theme already has strong erotic overtones: a man whose love is rejected by a respectable and pious maiden threatens to pay her a nightly visit, drink her blood by giving her the seductive kiss of the vampire and thus prove to her that his teaching is better than her mother's Christianity. One of its lines, Denn die Todten reiten schnell "For the dead ride fast" , was to be quoted in Bram Stoker's classic Dracula. A later German poem exploring the same subject with a prominent vampiric element was The Bride of Corinth by Goethe , a story about a young woman who returns from the grave to seek her betrothed:. From my grave to wander I am forced Still to seek the God's long sever'd link, Still to love the bridegroom I have lost, And the lifeblood of his heart to drink.

Finding a Book When You've Forgotten Its Title

This is an update of a previous post by Sharon Rickson. It can be tough to remember the title and author of a book you read a long time ago—even if it was a book that was really important to you. Fiction is cataloged by author and title, not by subject or plot line, which makes identifying books by just their storyline difficult. Readers often ask librarians for help finding these kinds of books. First, pin down everything you can remember about the book, plot, character names, time period in which the book may have been published, genre, etc.
