À propos de cet audio

 Step into the eerie world of Varney, the Vampyre, the first volume in a thrilling three-part series. Originally published as a penny dreadful from 1845 to 1847, this groundbreaking tale paved the way for iconic vampire narratives like Dracula. The story unfolds as Flora Bannersworth is mysteriously attacked in her bedroom during the witching hour. Though her assailant appears to be shot dead, the body mysteriously vanishes. With two telltale bite marks on Floras neck, her family friend Mr. Marchdale concludes that a vampire is at large. As Flora recuperates, her brother Henry and Mr. Marchdale embark on a suspenseful quest to uncover the truth, leading them to the enigmatic Sir Francis Varney, a newcomer to the area who bears a striking resemblance to their long-deceased ancestor, Marmaduke Bannersworth. Join this gripping hunt for the supernatural! (Summary by Annika Feilbach) Note that the original text does not have chapters labeled 41-43. The chapters have been renumbered to be consecutive in this project.
