OSSENFELDER (1748; the first known appearance of a vampire in a literary work; translator unknown, circa 1800) and LENORE by G.A. BÜRGER (1774, translated by Dante Gabriel Rosetti in 1844): Grieving for her lost soldier-fiance, Lenore is delighted when he comes and takes her away on a 100-mile ride, at the end of which he turns out to be … not who she thinks he is.44:15: DRACULA, by BRAM STOKER (1897), Chapter 4: Jonathan Harker wakes up in his own bed, wondering if the vampire maidens were a dream. He tries to think so, but not very successfully. Then the count orders him to write three post-dated letters — including one claiming to be written from Bistritz saying he is on his way home. Harker fears this means the count means to murder him and throw off the investigation by means of the posthumously posted letter. — He tries to climb out on the castle walls, to get into the count’s room, and succeeds. A door in the room leads down stairs into an old ruined chapel, where the Slovaks have deposited the wooden boxes. In one of the boxes the count is lying, apparently dead … but clearly not. — Back in his room, the next day, Harker overhears the count promising the three vampire maidens that they must wait one more day before they can have their way with Harker. Will he escape from this castle of horrors?1:17:45: LORD HALIFAX’S GHOST BOOK: Four hard-living Australian warplane pilots played a game of poker for high stakes, and won big from the youngest of their lot.
