From Wikipedia
Vampire literature covers the spectrum of literary work concerned principally with the subject of vampires. The literary vampire first appeared in 18th-century poetry, before becoming one of the stock figures of gothic fiction with the publication of Polidori's The Vampyre (1819), inspired by a story told to him by Lord Byron. Later influential works include The Family of the Vourdalak (1839) by Aleksey Konstantinovich Tolstoy; the penny dreadful Varney the Vampire (1847); Sheridan Le Fanu's tale of a lesbian vampire Carmilla (1872), and Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897). Some authors created a more "sympathetic vampire", with Varney being the first, and more recent examples such as Moto Hagio's series The Poe Clan (1972–1976) and Anne Rice's novel Interview with the Vampire (1976) proving influential.
