Review:
Love a good short spooky story for Spooky season. 

Aubrey is fascinated by Lord Ruthven and joins him on a tour to Europe. However, something is wrong and Aubrey is uneasy with Lord Ruthven's grotesque conduct. 

I have to admit something....I struggled to pay attention to this. I nearly fell asleep at one point when I was listening to this and doing some coloring. 

The narrator was familiar to me and he does a great job, but not even his performance could hold my attention. 

Now, the ending was better and it got spooky, but the rest? Eh. 

I'll give this 2 stars.

I always meant to read this after I found out it was the first vampire story even before Dracula. Good to know it starts out a little blah.
