Human: When were vampires first introduced into fiction?

Assistant: I’m not sure about that.  I don’t have exact information, but I can tell you that around 1850, The Vampyre became popular in Paris.  The book was written by John Polidori, who was a friend of Lord Byron.  The book was published in 1819.  Over time, it became very popular.  People would even write stories about vampires, and it became a popular genre.  Books like Dracula are great examples.  And movies like Nosferatu are also examples.  There are many more.
