| Summary | Text | This analytical essay explores Arthur Conan Doyle's treatment of vampirism, arguing that his stories favour the concept of the psychic vampire rather than the traditional blood-drinking fiend, and tracing parallels with Le Fanu, Stoker, Machen, and later writers. Through close readings of John Barrington Cowles, The Parasite, The Sussex Vampire, and other tales, it situates Conan Doyle's work within the wider evolution of Gothic and supernatural fiction. |
