I read an excerpt of this poem in a collection last year and of course that taste made me hungry for the rest. What I did not know was that Mazeppa was a real person and that this incident really happened. Not exactly in the way Byron described it (there is a difference in being tied to a thoroughly wild horse and being tied to your own personal mount).

I'm interested in reading Bram Stoker and Prest's tales of Varney the Vampire so I figured I'd start at the beginning. But it really is only an unfinished fragment and we only know that it's about a vampire because the author
For all behind was dark and drear And all before was night and fear. How many hours of night or day In those suspended pangs I lay, I could not tell; I scarcely knew If this were human breath I drew.Thankful that the bit with Theresa and her "Asiatic eye" is only a stanza and a half or so, the way KS talked about it sounded like the whole poem's about that, Mazeppa's transformation is gr8 but then for some reason the poem finishes with him just falling in love with a slender Cossack girl, it's a
