Books
Before there was 'Dracula', there was 'Varney the Vampyre', the most famous of the sensational penny dreadfuls issued by Victorian-era publishers. Printed anonymously in serial form in 1847, these gripping tales recount the exploits of a deathless creature with an insatiable appetite for blood. Although the authorship of the Varney books remains a bit of a mystery, they not only thrilled countless eager readers but also established many of the conventions and ideas associated with vampirism.
