Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu & The Vampyr by John William Polidori

This time I'm sharing pictures of a typeset I made for fellow @renegadepublishing friends to bind at an in-person-workshop dimitris_bookbinding_corner (at least some of the fancy pictures).

Look at one of the finished binds created by @celestial-sphere-press

Sooo, about this typeset, what can I say? It was a joy and a pain to create this typeset to meet certain requirements in page count and size as well as getting to use wonderful book illustrations by Alphonse Mucha. Some typos were found, others, well now they stare me in the eye...

While the chapter start pages for Carmilla (on the left) were simply the original frames and illustrations with the text replaced by the text of Carmilla, I wanted The Vampyr (on the right) to look the similar, but yet different from the first story. There was no way around sticking to Mucha, because, well, nothing else went as well with is style than his style. After some experimenting with different works of Mucha I went with his moon and stars cycle in addition to the 1903 cover the 'Paris illustre' and the lithography for Flirt biscuits by the company Lefèvre Utile (today still known as LU)' from 1899 to tie them together.

The Carmilla typeset is actually a merge with the main text sourced from Project Gutenberg and notes sourced from a version found at the University of Pennsylvania. (I also learned the word 'odylic' from these notes. Before I'd have considered it simply a typo XD)

I tried reading Polidori’s “The Vampyre” one night before I went to sleep and I for the life of me cannot remember a single word from it or anything that happened.

But I do remember that the author was very pretty:

I LOVE the Elizabeth piece you did it looks amazing (T⌓T) I would kill to see Polidori or other characters from Frankenhole done like that it is jaw dropping!!

Thank you so much!!! I'm so glad you liked it! : D Elizabeth is my favourite lol.

I did Polidori for you, sorry for the delay!

Dr. Polidori/Marko - Haunted Summer/The Lost Boys

Song: Cirice - Ghost

Since Marko's a vampire, I wanted it to be like Polidori is Marko in the 19th century (before he was turned) and that he's finally had enough of everyone treating him like shit 😂

Me praying to see the day when Villa Diodati finally becomes a museum so I can have the same view that our silly little guys had while thinking up scary stories and also see the balcony that Polidori jumped off of

But first, on earth as vampire sent,

Thy corse shall from its tomb be rent:

Then ghastly haunt thy native place, And suck the blood of all thy race;

There from thy daughter, sister, wife, At midnight drain the stream of life;

Yet loathe the banquet which perforce

Must feed thy livid living corse:

Thy victims ere they yet expire

Shall know the demon for their sire, As cursing thee, thou cursing them,

Thy flowers are withered on the stem.

But one that for thy crime must fall, The youngest, most beloved of all,

Shall bless thee with a father's name - That word shall wrap thy heart in flame!

Yet must thou end thy task, and mark Her cheek's last tinge, her eye's last spark, And the last glassy glance must view Which freezes o'er its lifeless blue;

Then with unhallowed hand shalt tear

The tresses of her yellow hair, Of which in life a lock when shorn

Affection's fondest pledge was worn,

But now is borne away by thee,

Memorial of thine agony!

Wet with thine own best blood shall drip

Thy gnashing tooth and haggard lip;

Then stalking to thy sullen grave,

Go - and with Gouls and Afrits rave;

Till these in horror shrink away

From spectre more accursed than they!

excerpt from Lord Byron’s Giaour, as seen in John William Polidori’s The Vampyre

It was such a shame Polidori wasn't even really believed in by the other writers and friends in his circle, and even when the book was published, the agency effectively stole his work and penned it to an already successful guy. I really wonder or wish that he would have known how culturally important he really is, and I wish there was more information about him and his life, and that he would get the credit he would deserve. Everyone always screams about Dracula being a superior story, but in my personal opinion, Polidori's vampire adventure across a changed regency Europe really is fascinating and beautiful.

The...the protagonist, let's say, of this story. The vampire assassin, the relentless force, the born hater

I can't tell his name or his backstory right now since they're plot points/jokes, but I can say this: narratively speaking, he was supposed to stay dead, but I decided to raise him up again to see what would happen.

What happened: a 100 000 words story, several one-shots, and a stupid comic.

He's really easy to write, fun to draw, and allows for a lot of jokes/narrative hooks

#my art #character sheet #original character sheet #Polidori #he's actually 22 so I guess that explains a lot regarding his emotional maturiry

When John William Polidori visited Switzerland in 1816, he wrote in his diary:

“It is a classic ground we go over. Buonaparte, Joseph, Bonnet, Necker, Staël, Voltaire, Rousseau, all have their villas (except Rousseau). Genthoud, Ferney, Coppet are close to the road.”
