The first known gay vampire novel and one of the first psychic vampire stories.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 (actually, bisexual) vampire story. In this early vampire story, we get a look at the inner workings of the immortal mind. Desire is at the heart of a dark quest that ends with an unexpected turn of events. Known as the first gay vampire story, the tale is also one of the first to concentrate on the mind and soul of the creature.
