 Much to both his and Byron's chagrin, "The Vampyre" was released as a new work by Byron.Byron's own vampire story "Fragment of a Novel" or "A Fragment" was published in 1819 in an attempt to clear up the confusion, but, for better or worse, "The Vampyre" continued to be attributed to him.Polidori's long, Byron-influenced theological poem "The Fall of the Angels" was published anonymously in 1821.
