If anything the disordering of the senses is more unsettling because the tale is more realistic , more believable , more grown up !Yes , amazingly , The Blood Of The Vampire might be the Better Book ! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Forget the Title *by M***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 August 2010* Florence Marryat was the daughter of the famous Captain Frederick Marryat and the surname did definitely help her when she first started witing. In her lifetime she wrote something like 70 novels mainly in the sensation fiction genre, indeed this novel has a sensational element itself. I should warn you though that despite the title you are not really going to get a vampire horror tale here, indeed when you first start reading it you could be forgiven for thinking that this was a social comedy.The tale starts at an hotel in a resort upon the Continent, Belgium to be exact. With all the tourists there there is also young, very attractive lady. This lady turns out to be Harriet Brandt and is travelling with a friend to accompany her home. With her wide-eyed innocence it soon transpires that she has been brought up in a Convent in the West Indies. Harriet seems very kind and loving, but those she forms an attachment with start to wither and eventually die. Could there be something wrong with Harriet?The story then transfers to London, England where all the main characters are now residing, and Harriet is temporarily staying with Baroness Gobelli, a larger than life character who isn't above telling a lie or two, and is very domineering. As things proceed the rumours of Harriet's parents starts to emerge. Indeed Harriet herself starts to remember things as well. She is an illegitimate child of a Jamaican plantation owner, who carried out vivisectionist experiments, not just on animals but people as well, and her mother was a Voodoo priestess. We get told how there was an uprising and her parents were killed, also at the same time we find that the Baroness herself is a mediumistic charlatan. Harriet is a Quadroon, and so the head of racism raises itself, and she is considered to be a bit low for high society. With men taking a fancy to her a forthcoming marriage is put in danger, but also the men that she starts to get close to start dying, making life for Harriet herself too much.Some people may find this a bit non-pc in places, but remember this was written in 1897, indeed the same year Dracula was published. Although Forence Marryat was extremely popular in her day she has seemed to have fallen into a black hole, like many another Victorian author over the years. This novel contains a hint of the supernatural, and if you read between the lines more than just a whiff of bisexuality, as well as racism and other subjects. Like Henry James'  The Turn of the Screw (Dover Thrift) , you can read this either as a horror tale with a psychic vampire, or as a more psychological novel that highlights the thoughts and fears of its day. Greta Depledge, who editted this also provides an introduction, footnotes and appendices which contain pieces from the time that show what the thoughts were on hysteria, eugenics, etc. Also a review from the time is included. If you like something a little bit different and thought provoking, then this should be right up your street. ### ⭐ Missing text... *by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 February 2021* Only just started, but there’s clearly a bit missing between page 6 and 7, and I’ve no idea what...picture attached.
