Vivid descriptions - you'll enjoy these. Each story has its own horror and gives you a deadly vampire.

Very good horror stories

I love the stories, gothic horror is perfect now as the fall sets in. The narrator is good enough when reading "normally", but the accents leaves a lot to be desired. They all sound the same, which is none that can be recognised. Just a sort of generic not-English-accent.

Great stories, narrator lacking

Stories are taken in chronological order from Byron to M R James. Great performance. A good grounding in early vampire literature. Thanks Audible for this free audio book.
The Radio 4 archive of ‘in our time’ has an episode on Polidori’s The Vampyre which references some of these other stories.
