What reading level is The Supernatural in Romantic Fiction book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
89 VAMPIRES, AND ANIMATED CORPSES.
WHEN a vampire dies, he rises from his grave at night, and supports a fresh existence by sucking the blood of other persons whilst they are asleep. These other persons soon die, and themselves become vampires. A body suspected of Vam- pirism is disinterred, and is generally recognised by the freshness of the face. A stake is driven through the heart of the vampire, who then utters a loud scream. The body is burnt to ashes. This is supposed to be the only way o...f finally getting rid of the nuisance. Lord Byron's lines in the ' Giaour ' will be remembered. A story is to be found in Phlegon's treatise on wonderful things concerning a girl of the name of Philinnium, a native of Tralles, in Asia Minor, who not only after her death visited her lover, but ate, drank, and even cohabited with him. This event, which happened in the time of the Emperor Hadrian, is the subject of Goethe's poem, ' The Bride of Corinth. ' Similar stories have been told by Alexandre Dumas, Washington Irving, and perhaps by others.
