The Vampyre: A tale

I honestly did not enjoy this one very much. I read it, but I didn't understand it thouroghly so I looked up the summary of it on wikipedia. I find the plot intresting, but did not like the writing style of the author as it was lond winded and served only to confuse me.
So Lord Ruthven is not overly social, and seems free of vice. He is pale and his siloutte is handsome and he has cold grey eyes. He is also inteligent. All of which are traits of a vampire, at least by my definition. It seems that he gives money to beggers, but also sucks their blood. Aubrey seperates from Ruthven and finds someone who knows of vampyres and speaks of them often in a manner that implies Ruthven is a vampire to Aubrey. While walking in the forest during a thunderstorm Aubrey becomes lost. he is attacked by a being with superhuman strength, who I took to be Ruthven. Super human strength is another characterisitc of vampyres I have found to be common. It seems by the discritption of Aubrey's character after he was attacked he too has become a vampyre. Ruthven is killed and Aubrey agrees to tell no one of his death for 366 days and Ruthvens body vanishes. It seems that Ruthven killed the countess' family during this time. Aubrey reaches his home town and sees Ruthven and is reminded by a ominous voice of his oath not to speak of Ruthven's death. Ruthven has used the year in which Aubrey could not speak of his death to have his sister fall in love wth him and become betrothed to her. When Aubrey protests he is thought to be failing in mental health. Aubrey is finally able to speak of Ruthven's death and dies shortly after. His guardians attempt to save his sister but it is to late by the itme they find her she has been sucked of blood.
