Description - The House of the Vampire by George Sylvester Viereck

A review from "The Overland Monthly," Volume 50:
"The House of the Vampire," by George Sylvester Viereck, is the story of an author, The Vampire, who has the strange faculty of appropriating, through some psychological influence, which he has cultivated to its extreme, the most desired traits of other men and leaving them bereft. From a writer, he drains his plots; from an artist, her ability. Strangely, he exerts upon his subjects a terrible influence. The mad house and physical degeneration follow the spell. A powerful but morbid tale, that might have been written by Oscar Wilde and inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson. Professor Hugo Munsterberg, Professor of Psychology at Harvard, would be interested.
