European vampire literature can be traced back to Germany of the 18th century, and the publication of the poems The Vampire (1748) by Ossenfelder and The Bride Of Corinth (1797) by Goethe. The 19th century saw short vampire fiction in the form of Tieck's Wake Not The Dead (c.1800), E.T.A. Hoffmann's Aurelia (1820), concerning a predatory corpse-eater, and The Mysterious Stranger (1860), an anonymous tale which seems to have inspired elements of Bram Stoker's later Dracula. This special ebook edition of The Mysterious Stranger also includes The Vampire, The Bride Of Corinth, Wake Not The Dead, and Aurelia, making it a definitive anthology of German literary vampires.
