  Rymer, James Malcolm; or Thomas Pecket Prest. Varney the Vampyre; or, The Feast of Blood. Originally appeared in 109 weekly instalments between 1845 and 1847. Subsequently published in book form in 1847 by London publisher Edward Lloyd, who attributed it to ‘the author of Grace Rivers; or, The Merchant’s Daughter.’ Uncertainty about who this referred to has meant the authorship of this seminal work has long been in doubt, although stylistically it would appear to be the work of Rymer rather than Prest. After many years out of print, it was eventually rescued from obscurity in 1970 by the New York publisher Arno Press, who brought out a 3-volume facsimile edition attributed to Thomas Peckett Prest. Since then, further editions have appeared from the following publishers: New York: Dover, 1972. 2 vols. (attributed to Rymer). Whitefish, Mont., U.S.: Kessinger, 2004, 2010. 3 vols. (attributed to Prest). Ware, U.K.: Wordsworth Editions, 2010. Single vol. (attributed to Rymer).
