One of the earliest recorded - and by recorded I mean published, "Upir" tales was "The vampyre Tale" by John Polidori in (1819)... * this was the story that was inspired by the long weekend that he, Shelley, and Byron spent telling gothic ghoust stories.
But a little over 50 yrs later - vampires being much more popular and en vogue, what story - one of the first to tell of a female vampire, was written and thus published?
Hint #1 The title is the name of the woman
hint #2 It was written by J. Sheridan Le Fanu
hint #3 The best-known film adaptation of Le Fanu's vampire tale was made
into a film "the vampire lovers" (1970) and stared Peter Cushing and Ingrid Pitt.
