I think I know by now what evil really is

I am evidently not the target audience for Tim Powers' Hide Me Among the Graves (2012), which rushthatspeaks has been reading and describing to me; I think that if one of your central characters is vampire John Polidori, people should always be asking him if he got it from Lord Byron and he should be so tired of having to tell them ("Byron wasn't even a vampire, damn it!") no.

Hah, I was thinking something like this when I read it, only in my case I thought, "Finally Polidori gets to have a trait in his own right, instead of having that trait in comparison to Byron!" Admittedly that trait is being an undead creeper, but he takes what he can get.

In a universe where Byron is not a vampire, fair enough!
