Hoffmann - Vampirismus

Around 1920 Hoffmann wrote a vampire story entitled "Vampirismus - Gräßliche Geschichte". It is one of the first vampire stories written and I wonder if you have read it.If you do please share your opinion about it with us.

Hmmm . . . I enjoy Hoffmann but I have not read the story you mention. Alas, there has been no recent translation of his complete works. I shall go consult my old friend TomCatMurr to see if he knows of said tale.

That would be 1820... It's in Die SerapionsBrüder, part 4.

Yes, that in German.

I liked the images, but I found it rather lacking it logic. What is the relation between the baroness and the son of the executioner? What does that relation have to do with the happenings at the cemitery?

Perhaps this book contains the translation of the story for which you seek. If you look at the small print, you will see a story translated as "The Vampire." Unfortunately, Tartarus Press books are pricey although they are well made and lovely.
