The Family Of The Vourdalak by Aleksey Nikolayevich Tolstoy
Set in the eerie landscapes of 19th-century Eastern Europe, this chilling tale unfolds through the eyes of a French diplomat who becomes entangled with a mysterious family plagued by a sinister curse. As the diplomat visits the home of his friend, he learns about the family's patriarch, who has returned from a hunting trip with a haunting transformation. The family fears he has become a "vourdalak," a vampire-like creature, and they anxiously await the fateful hour when he might turn on them. Suspense builds as the diplomat witnesses the family's struggle between love and survival, culminating in a gripping confrontation with the supernatural.
