while I appreciate the influence and lore surrounding this story it was boring and forgettable.

I'm sure this man sat down at his desk, rubbed his hands together, and thought, "Oh, this one is gonna last centuries." Like, he must be giggling in his grave knowing that his little hyperfixation of 'undead cannibalism' grew into vampire-mania and gave us the masterpiece that is Frankenstein and such, right?

it's okay, the pacing is a bit off but mostly it's good. one reviewer said they thought the story behind it being written is better than the story itself and honestly i have to agree
