In the interview they discuss some of the reasons he began to change into a more romantic vampire, He freely speaks out about the safety concerns any undead citizen must have when they are so misunderstood by the human society they hid within: mobs, staking, beheading, burning alive (all the usual...).
Sir Francis Varney also shares his opinion on where his biographers (James Rymer and Leslie Ormandy) went wrong when they told his tale. He allowed them some creative license, and in his opinion, they went too far.
Risen from the Grave: The Varney the Vampire Saga book 1; The Feast of Blood (here) is the first segment of Varney's story, totally revamped for a 21st century audience. This first of three projected tomes (tome = 519 pages, 391,000 words) is in its almost fully revamped form on Kindle. This version (cover tells different incarnation) differs from the "modernized" version in that the fully revamped combines the first two volumes (for a very long time there were five) into one and fully moves the novel into a more modern form.
