Whoops, an error in the title there. It's actually "The Poet and the Vampyre: The Cures of Byron and the Birth of Literature's Greatest Monsters." Byron has been credited as the inspiration for the Ann Rice style of vampire, with noble demeanor and charismatic nuances, etc. It goes back to when Frankenstein was invented, so I'm curious to read about it. I know there is a fiction work where Byron gets tempted by a vampire. He was in the habit of going out at all hours of the night and sleeping all day. Along with things like drinking from a cup made of a skull and bringing a pet bear to university (they wouldn't let him bring his dog).
Tea?
