Feval, Paul: Vampire City. 02118
Sarob Press: Wales. 1999.
First edition thus (& 1st printing).
Hardcover.
Translated, edited, with an introduction, afterword and notes, by Brian Stableford. 250 numbered copies printed.
''first published in book form in 1867, Vampire City is a parody of the Gothic literature which peaked in popularity some 70 years before then - a prospect quite probably more alarming than anything contained within the novel itself, since the Gothic idiom today reads, as we all know, practically as parody in the first place. Fortunately Vampire City doesn't parody through exaggeration, using straightforward stylistic imitation instead. The parodic elements arise straightforwardly enough from the ludicrous plot. Phew! Féval's narrator for the story is, somewhat libellously, the mighty Gothic powerhouse herself, Anne Radcliffe. The story is supposed to illustrate how her relatively humdrum life spawned such dramatic and overwrought novels. I'm not giving much away when I say it involves not just one vampire but an entire city of them! There are corrupt aristocrats, worthy common folk, devoted couples and hideous supernatural beasties aplenty. What can I say? It's pure Gothic, which is to say that it's not a great riveting read: the plot is unlikely, the characters barely sketched and the story itself only competently written. The important thing to know about Vampire City is that, as Stableford himself points out in the afterword, it's an interesting and relevant adjunct to the vampire mythos as we know it today. It shows just how influenced we have been by Bram Stoker's creation, almost to the exclusion of any other source'' (Stuart Carter/Infinity Plus).
