minutia-r:minutia-r:minutia-r:https://twitter.com/midnight_pals/status/1357446881475895296* According to Wikipedia, “Critics debate The Black Vampyre to be the first American vampire story”, so it might be more accurate to say that the first American vampire story was arguably about an African man taking revenge on the person who enslaved him, but let me be pithy in meme format** A quick google did not show me the text of the story online anywhere although obviously it’s in the public domain. I have not read it and cannot make any claims about it being good, or unproblematic, or anything like that.ETA: Someone in the replies has found a PDF online here: http://jto.common-place.org/just-teach-one-homepage/the-black-vampyre/Be aware if you’re interested in reading it that you have to scroll down to page 12 to get to the actual story, before that it’s an introduction/academic discussion.Okay I have just started reading andIF any person should have patience to read thefollowing narrative, and can discover the Author’s drift, it ismore than he can do himselfThat is a whole mood, Uriah Derik D’Arcy -- source link
