Bio

In 1892, authorities dispatched detectives to the Exeter, Rhode Island, to investigate a the mysterious exsanguination of a young woman. The entire affair would later be dubbed the 'Mercy Brown vampire incident' by the press.

To this day it is still one of the best documented cases of exhumation of a corpse involving an undead manifestation. The incident was part of the wider New England vampire panic.

It has been suggested by scholars that Bram Stoker, the author of the novel Dracula, knew about the Mercy Brown case through newspaper articles and based the novel's character Lucy Westenra upon her. It is also referred to in H. P. Lovecraft's "The Shunned House".

For James Edward Camber all this was just the beginning...
