The third in a
trilogy featuring Frank Braun (based on the author) as a protagonist,
Vampire concerns Braun's transformation into a vampire after drinking
the blood of his Jewish mistress. Ewers is considered important in the
development of the literary horror genre, with H.P. Lovecraft and Guy
Endore citing his work as an influence. Students of the occult are also
attracted to his work, as he maintained a long friendship and
correspondence with Aleister Crowley.
