Step into the haunting world of House of the Vampire, a captivating 1907 novella that redefines the vampire narrative. Follow a young writer as he becomes ensnared by the enigmatic allure of a powerful older master, whose past is littered with the remnants of failed apprentices. This tale masterfully intertwines the eerie elements of vampirism with profound insights into the creative process, making it as much a psychological exploration as a chilling horror story. (Summary by Elizabeth Klett)

This novella, first published in 1907, is very unusual as far as vampire stories go. It is one of the first psychic vampire stories, where a vampire feeds off more than just blood. A young writer visits an older master to help him hone his craft but ends up succumbing to the powerful influence of the mysterious old man. We soon find that he has left a trail of ruined protégés in his wake. It is a chilling tale with an unusual twist.

One of the first psychic vampire novels of its time - where the vampire feeds off of more than just blood - The House of the Vampire is an early classic in its genre. This Victorian novel operates in the continuum of life and death. What has been can be again, though often terribly transformed. Energetically inventive and infused with a relish for the supernatural, especially the trappings of the dark, The House of the Vampire delivers a horror which we know does not - but none the less conceivably might - exist and threaten ourselves.

The House of the Vampire by George Sylvester Viereck is a psychological horror novel exploring the eerie bond between an author and his young protégé. The story follows Ernest, an aspiring writer, who falls under the influence of Reginald Clarke, a charismatic but sinister literary figure. Clarke possesses a supernatural ability to drain creative energy from his victims, leaving them mentally and emotionally hollow. As Ernest uncovers the terrifying truth, he must escape Clarke’s grip before losing his own identity. A chilling tale of psychological vampirism and artistic exploitation. ...

Can she survive long enough to piece together the puzzle of her life?

If someone asked Blair Quinn who her inspirations were, she’d probably name Audrey Hepburn for her poise, Marilyn Monroe’s style, and her cousin Lorena’s grit and bravery. In her mind, no one is braver than Lorena, and she aims to be just like her. But what she didn’t ask for was all of her cousin’s problems. And when an explosion sets off what could be considered the New Age Order, Blair’s life quickly consists of hiding from assassins, saving her friends, and fighting back the powers of darkness.

I got enemies. A lot of them. Jessica Clark, a magnet for trouble, blood, and magic.

Just when I thought I was getting my life under control, this happened.

All the world's a stage, and Blair is just a player. No, seriously. She is. Blair’s life becomes a show when her friends decide to turn it into a reality competition. It’s lights, camera, action for this college witch. Now, men are fighting each other gladiator-style in order to become one of her mates.

There’s something different about Blair. While she can’t put her finger on it, the symptoms are telling her that she’s ill. Her skin is fevered, her breaths are shallow, and she’s lost the ability to hold back her growing desire. Okay, so maybe she wasn’t sick, but something was up and the only way to find the answers - outside of bedding every vampire who looked at her with even a little heat - was to go to the one man who seemed to have all the answers about magic.
