Question:

Poem by Byron about vampires???

Years ago I read a excerpt from a poem by Byron re vampires. Has anybody else come across this or have any idea what it might be called?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

The Giaour is a poem by Lord Byron first published in 1813 and the first in the series of his Oriental romances. It is also one of the earliest fictional works to touch upon the subject of vampires (see vampire fiction). The Giaour proved to be a great success when published, consolidating Byron's reputation critically and commercially.
