    I put this on before bedtime yesterday and don’t remember anything until I woke up exhausted when the sun shone in my face. I wonder why I’ve felt so drained all day.

    These will be outstanding. Older vampire stories are the best ones. Great start with this one. I love your narration of the tale. Looking forward to the rest of the series. Thank you. Have a great Thursday ❤

      @Andrew Hager Yes! That sounds familiar to me, and another one about a man who stayed in 'a humble home in the forest' (you know the script 🙄), seduction with maiden, who turns in to vampyr whilst great grandpa rallies the others.... Must be a world wide cultural story..... Or the truth.... 🤔
      Kindest Wishes Xxx 🙏🏼

    This is one of the best vampire stories. I did not know it existed until I listened to it on this channel. Thanks for bringing it to us, Ian! This author is awesome. I will try to find more from him. These old stories are so rich.
    This story is a real gem. So glad I listened to it.

    I've mentioned this before in another mesmerising tale of the narrators sublime vocal tones and powers of storytelling. To add to the near perfect score I've given of 9*\10 is the story itself, which makes or brakes every story!!!! Long may u continue to "babble" these much adored tales. From all of us who listen to u
    Thank You

    Wonderful! Classic vampire story🧛👄🖤 As it went on I kind of wondered if the protagonist wasn't being a bit ignorant and nonchalant. Leaving the broken window? Going out into the night without any protection - cross, holy water?
    Sheesh! What an amateur😋.
    This felt like more of a traditional Transylvanian vampire (so not Bram Stoker's Dracula) more passive and a bit less dangerous.
    Glad it worked😁
