Varney the Vampire

Sir Francis Varney has an unusual interest in the Bannerworth family, and their daughter Flora. He simply cannot help himself; as a vampire he feeds on her vitality. Varney is a good man, though. Almost as strong as his unquenchable thirst is his desire to save himself and spare his victims.
