Title: La famille du Vourdalak Title Record # 2063273
Author:
Date: 1838-00-00
Type: SHORTFICTION
Length: novelette
Webpages: FantLab, Wikipedia-EN, YouTube
Language: French
Note:
  • Fantalab states (in Russian) : "Written in 1838 in French. First published in Русский вестник ("Russian Gazette") #1 in 1884, translated by B. Markevich".
  • Per Dracula's Guest, this was first written in 1839 in French under the pseudonym Krasnorogsky and indeed not published in Russian until 1884.
  • The dates of 1847 (Russian version) and 1884 (French version) are given by nooSFere, which seems erroneous.
