2.0
Though one of the earliest English-language pieces of fiction about vampires, other than this claim, I don't find much terribly of interest to the very dense, somewhat overwrought (and yet paradoxically lacking in emotion) short story here.
(Bracketed, somewhat confusingly, by real world letters/discussion about Lord Byron, aside from referencing the gathering that led to the writing of Frankenstein, among other things.)
