The Vampyre by John William Polidori, published in April 1819, was the first English prose vampire story and set off a craze of vampire fiction. It began as a fragment of a novel by Lord Byron and was adapted into a short story by Polidori, who had been Byron's personal physician. It was published by The New Monthly Magazine with an attribution to Lord Byron — probably on purpose for the sake of selling more copies, as the misattribution stuck long after both Polidori and Byron corrected it, much to the two's despair.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The plot concerns Lord Ruthven,note In real life, a title belonging to a prominent Scottish family, among other things a nobleman, and Aubrey, his traveling companion. In Greece, Aubrey learns about vampires from a girl he falls in love with, who is later killed by one. Ruthven dies, and makes Aubrey swear not to tell anyone about his death for A Year and a Day. When Aubrey returns to England, however, he finds Ruthven alive and well, and courting his sister. Aubrey falls ill under the stress of keeping his oath. He dies shortly after revealing that Ruthven is a vampire, too late to save his sister.As a matter of historical interest, Lord Byron wrote the fragment that Polidori would turn into The Vampyre while they were holed up in a villa on the shores of Lake Geneva whiling away the extremely unpleasant summer of 1816 with two of Lord Byron's other friends: Percy Bysshe Shelley and his wife, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. The latter produced Frankenstein on the same trip.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Has been adapted numerous times into plays, operas, and even a TV miniseries. | |

Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie: Lord Ruthven invokes this trope to ensure his corpse will be exposed to moonlight, which he knows will revive him in undeath. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| The Vampyre / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: Aubrey warned a young woman's mother that Lord Ruthven had unwholesome intentions (which he believes to be sex not murder) toward her daughter. Lord Ruthven still ends up killing her and then systematically destroys Aubrey's life over the course of a year. | |

Daywalking Vampire: Sunlight had no negative impact on Lord Ruthven (although moonlight healed him, making him arguably stronger during the night). | |
