Arabella Kenealy – författare

“A Beautiful Vampire” is a 1896 short Gothic story by Arabella Kenealy. This classic vampire story will appeal to lovers of Gothic literature and would make for a chilling addition to any collection. Arabella Kenealy (1859 – 1938) was a British physician, writer, and eugenicist. Notably, she held the belief that that every part of the cosmos, each hemisphere of the world, and each half of the human body possessed a more female side. The second of the eleven children of Elizabeth and Edward Kenealy, her siblings included her brother Alexander, who became the editor of the Daily Mirror; and her sister Annesley, who was also a writer. Her father was Edward Kenealy, a notorious Queens Counsel barrister involved in the Tichborne Case. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

1893 schrieb sie Dr. Janet of Harley Street, die erfolgreich war. Die Hauptfigur ist eine Ärztin, die eine jüngere Frau adoptiert, die aus einer unglücklichen Ehe flieht. In den Jahren 1896-1897 schrieb Kenealy eine Reihe von Geschichten über Lord Syfret. Syfret war ein Aristokrat, der in erschreckende und manchmal übernatürliche Situationen verwickelt wurde. Eine der Syfret-Geschichten war eine gotische Kurzgeschichte mit dem Titel "Ein schöner Vampir".
