Things I liked:
-quick, satisfying listen (great narrator)
-it was cool to see the base elements of the vampire "blueprint"
-high emotion, bouts of madness, etc.; all of the hallmarks of a classic vampire tale (seeing as it inspired the other classics, I would have been disappointed if these features had been missing)
Things I didn't like:
-not as fleshed out as subsequent vampire stories, but that's to be expected

I liked the story, but the Lord Byron simping at the beginning and end was a little cringe
