The Last Lords of Gardonal

Two brothers, born into money and power, are as cruel as the feudal age in which they live. But when the oppressed villagers seek help from a sorcerer, the wicked barons just may have met their match… This tale features a relatively early example in English fiction of a vampire and was first published in The Argosy in 1867.
