The Vampyre by John William Polidori is from 1819 and Carmilla is from 1872. I have heard many people mistakenly call Carmilla the oldest story, but I do not usually correct it. However, since you asked.

The Vampyre is a short story - maybe 5,000 words at the outside. Carmilla is a novella, much shorter than Dracula, but much longer than The Vampyre. There are books with Carmilla alone, but it was originally published as one of three stories in Le Fanu's *In a Glass Darkly*, and it is commonly included in collections of vampire short stories.

Of course I've read Frankenstein and Dracula, as well as Wuthering Heights and Phantom of the Opera. I read The Monk recently and loved it.

Hunchback is easily one of my favorite books of all time. It is amazing. The beginning is EXTREMELY slow for the first bit, but once the story actually starts it gets so good. I will warn you though, as you can probably guess, it's not like the Disney movie. Almost at all. There general story line is there. So are most of the characters. But the book is so much more graphic and adult, and some of the character relationships are different. Phantom is also really good, and I feel like this might be blasphemy... but I personally preferred the musical. Which isn't to discourage you from reading it. It's still amazing, and the musical is fairly close to the book. I just feel like it plays out better as a musical than in book form. Adding the Italian to my TBR. Will probably go through that soon.

You goaded, so I'll deliver..... You are indeed incorrect, Carmilla was the second vampire story. The first was the far lesser known work by John Polidori, The Vampyre. That said, The Vampyre and Carmilla are both novellas, so for me, Dracula is the original vampire novel. For me, you were also wrong about Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey is my absolute favourite Austen novel, I love it. I did like your description as a "love letter to gothic", as I've always opposed Northanger Abbey being called "Gothic", it just doesn't tick enough boxes to be considered gothic in its own right, so your description is bang on.

After reading "Carmilla" you should watch the webseries of the same name. When doing the Disney one, make sure you read the version of each story that the movie is based on. The only one I can think of off the top of my head that people get wrong is Cinderella; people go to the German story ("Aschenputtel") as the inspiration, but Disney used the French story ("La Cedrillion"). Some of the older stories have versions in many cultures. Or you could read multiple versions of each; they are short stories. All in all, you have good taste in books.

Hellfire is such a bop! Honestly, the entire soundtrack is great. It takes a lot from classical music based on the Book of Revelation, so the hell/fire/sinning/doom theme runs throughout much of the score. The book the Hunchback of Notre Dame is quite different from Disney's version. For one, Claude Frollo is both the priest in the cathedral and the man who adopts Quasimodo/falls in love with Esmeralda. Disney made Frollo into an archetypal bad guy, divorced from any supposed holy profession.
