Copyright Edition, stated. Published the same year as the Hutchinson First Edition. Collection of British Authors; Tauchnitz Edition, Vol. 3245, half title page. Library binding with dark green cloth; gilt lettering and call number to spine. New endpapers. 318 pp. Horror novel. \n\nThe protagonist of the book, Harriet Brandt, is a mixed-race psychic vampire who kills unintentionally. The novel follows Harriet after she leaves a Jamaican convent for Europe, and her ill-fated attempts to integrate with Victorian society. Academics highlight the novel's treatment of race, eugenics, and social class. Marryat's conception of vampires as medical rather than supernatural has also elicited interest. Very interesting early (or first) Novel of a Mixed-race Vampire.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"details\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"heading\"\u003eBook Condition: \u003c\/span\u003eVery Good: Ex-library.
