John William Polidori
John William Polidori (7 September 1795 – 24 August 1821) was a British writer and physician. He is known for his associations with the
Romantic movement and credited by some as the creator of the
vampire genre of
fantasy fiction. His most successful work was the short story "
The Vampyre" (1819), the first published
modern vampire story. Although the story was at first erroneously credited to
Lord Byron, both Byron and Polidori affirmed that the author was Polidori.
