    Der Vampir
    Der kalte Sommer des Jahres 1816 mit seinen endlosen Regenfällen und schauderhaften Gewittern ist nicht nur in die Klima-, sondern auch in die Kulturgeschichte eingegangen. Betraten in diesem Sommer doch gleich zwei "Gespenster" die Bühne der Literatur, die aus den Medien mittlerweile nicht mehr wegzudenken sind: der künstliche Mensch des Dr. Frankenstein und der blutsaugende Vampir. Letzterer ist Protagonist zweier Erzählungen von Lord Byron und seinem Leibarzt John Polidori, die hier erstmals, neu übersetzt von Reinhard Kaiser, auf Deutsch in einem Band vereint sind.Hervorgegangen sind die beiden Stücke aus einem Wettbewerb im Gespenstergeschichtenschreiben, den Byron initiiert hatte. Während dessen eigene Erzählung aber Fragment geblieben ist, wurde "Der Vampir" von Polidori von einem geschäftstüchtigen Verleger später unter Byrons Namen veröffentlicht und schuf so den modernen Mythos des literarischen Vampirs, der keineswegs nur ein Gewalttäter, sondern auch ein Edelmann und Verführer ist. Kein Geringerer als Goethe nannte diese Erzählung, die eigentlich von einem Arzt stammt, "Byrons bestes Product". Reinhard Kaiser hat seiner kongenialen Übersetzung der Texte von Polidori und Byron einen Anhang mit zeitgenössischen erläuternden Texten, Zeittafel und Chronik sowie einem ausführlichen erzählenden Nachwort beigegeben.

    Der Vampyr
    Es war keinerlei Farbe auf ihren Wangen, nicht einmal auf ihren Lippen. - An ihrem Nacken und ihrer Brust war Blut, und an ihrer Kehle zeigten sich die Wundmale von Zähnen, die ihre Halsschlagader geöffnet hatten. Die Männer wiesen darauf und schrien, alle zugleich von Entsetzen gepackt: 'Ein Vampyr! Ein Vampyr!'John William Polidori, 'Der Vampyr. Eine Erzählung'
