Synopsis for "The Vampyre!"

Mr. Aubrey leaves his home of London, England to venture to Greece with an unusual member of society by the name of Lord Ruthven. The trip occurs soon after Miller's daughter is said to have killed herself over him. Mr. Aubrey leaves behind his sister Jessica as the two men leave for Greece through Paris, France.

It was in Paris that Aubrey began to question the character of Ruthven after he began solicitating very young women much like his sister Jessica. This caused Aubrey to anger and so he left for Greece ahead of Ruthven. Upon reaching a small inn he was welcomed by the innkeeper and spent much time with the innkeeper's daughter. Ruthven eventually caught up with him and that's when Aubrey decided to look into the ruins of the Parthenon which were said to be an evil place where a vampyre would have their evil orgies of death. The innkeeper tried to stop Aubrey but he didn't listen.

Traveling further into the ruins Aubrey happened upon a small cabin from which he heard a scream. The scream was that of Ianthe the innkeeper's daughter who had come to stop him. When he entered the cabin he was attacked by a shadowy figure. Thankfully in the case of Aubrey the villagers had followed him and were able to scare off the figure before it could kill him, but not before the creature had already slain Ianthe.

Aubrey awoke sometime later during bed rest by Lord Ruthven and the two agreed it'd be best to leave Greece, especially after Ianthe's parents died soon after her death due to heartbreak. During their trip they were ambushed upon by bandits. One of them was able to stab Ruthven with a silver bladed dagger, but left Aubrey after taking their belongings. Ruthven in his dying breath made Aubrey take an oath to leave his body where it lay to bathe in the light of the moon and to tell no one back in London of his death. Aubrey agreed and Ruthven seemingly passed.

Upon reaching home some time later Aubrey visited is sister whom did not seem surprised by his return instead she relayed that she had already been told of his coming days ago by the man whom saved Aubrey's life Lord Ruthven whom Jessica is now engaged. Ruthven simply stared at Aubrey and told him to remember his sacred vow one he promised to keep for as long as he lived...

Reprint of the 1st story from

When a man enters a bar and, as a gag, offers a skeptic a contract for his soul for one million dollars the skeptic signs it. No one sees the stranger leave, but a coincidence leaves the signer one million dollars from a will. As time goes by, the contract worries away at him distorting his personality from likable to hostile. His employees hate him and his family leave him. One day he receives a visitor and it turns out to be the man with the contract looking for work. The skeptic is so angered that his life has been changed so dramatically by a practical joke that he seizes a heavy candlestick and kills the stranger. Now he feels that he has sold his soul to the Devil in actuality and walks out into the dark for Satan to claim him.

A vampire is sealed away in her coffin by her former lover who rejected her for another. He states that he couldn't kill her at the time but if she ever rises from the grave he promises that he'll find a way to end her permanently. She awakens many years later to find the world has changed significantly but insists on her revenge. She eventually finds the home of her former lover only to see that it must be his grandson as given the many years her lover would have already perished. The vampire Melissa knocks on the door and confronts her lover's grandson Jim whom mistakes her for a crazy person. The two struggle when Jim spots a walking corpse on his roof messing with his antennae. The creature knocks the antennae down onto Melissa who is staked and turns to ash. Upon looking back to the roof Jim no longer sees the figure and wonders if the whole thing was real to begin with.
