Notă biografică

John William Polidori (1795-1821) was an English writer and physician, known for his involvement in the Romantic literary movement. Credited by some as the creator of the vampire genre, his novella 'The Vampyre' (1819) was the first modern vampire story. The text was written in the summer of 1816, as a result of a horror writing competition between himself and his literary friends. The same competition produced Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein' (1818).
