Varney the Vampyre, Vol 3 Review

Varney all but disappeared in the readings of Volume 2, and I almost lost interest in the voluminous chapters and began to wonder why the series (Volumes 1, 2, and 3) were even called such. however, near the end of Volume 2, Varney "reappeared" in the stories! Volume 3 is more attuned to him. The alternate title "Feast of Blood" is less befitting as Varney barely "feasts" in any of the volumes! Maybe it's just me. I'm an avid vampire lover, and Varney was (1) dragged out, too wordy, a bit boring, and a tad more interesting. Some narrators were very hard to listen to and understand (thick accents) and I lost interest while they read. But, I hung on until the end. The end was extremely abrupt but not too surprising. I'm not a lover of gore but of horror stories. Varney is a "lightly salted" horror story that plays at horror and I guess more suited to an earlier time in history where it would be better suited. Still l, my love of vampires kept me rooted enough until the end of the series. It was "decent."

My Opinion on Varney The Vampire

Peter The Reader

Most of this reads like a Soap Opera and is very ridiculous and contrived parts of it were interesting and I liked the ending and the chapters preceding it because they were about Oliver Cromwell deposing Charles I and then Charles II coming back to England. But most of it is very plodding

Very long...but I enjoyed it!

A collection of "penny dreadful" stories. I enjoyed it immensely although some of the readers were hard to understand. Well worth over 60 hours if my time!

Great story

Loved all 3 volumes. great story. but some of the readers have a very thick accent that you can barely understand what they are saying.

237 chapters, 3 book series !!! Well worth the time it takes as it keeps your interest peaked in nearly every chapter !!! You swing between rooting for the poor victims and their families, and then rooting for the vampire to escape captivity !!! Sincere Thank You’s to all the wonderfully dedicated and talented narrators involved in this selection !!! I’m going to save these 3 in my Favorites for another listen, soon !!!
