Hello, I'm Miriam.
Today's story involves love, death and a blood sucking vampire.
It was written a long time ago but is just as good to hear today.
We start with a young Englishman called Aubrey who's travelling with an older man called Lord Riven to beautiful city of Rome.
However, somebody has told Aubrey to watch out for Riven as he's not a very nice person and can't be trusted.
What can they mean?
In Rome they meet a woman who Ruthven takes an interest in.
But Aubrey warns her to keep away from him because he's not to be trusted.
Aubrey isn't happy about Ruthven's behaviour and decides to keep travelling, but on his own.
He ends up in Greece and it's here he meets and falls in love with the beautiful Ianthe.
She keeps him company and tells him tales of local legends about a vampire.
Then after a while Riven turns up and shortly after Ianthe is killed by a vampire.
Hmm, strange coincidence, don't you think?
But Ruthven just tells Aubrey to keep his eyes open for anyone acting suspiciously.
