- Prose adaptation of a play by Planché
- This is sometimes attributed to Lord Byron, based on the 1820 cover or title page: The Bride of the Isles: A Tale Founded on the Popular Legend of the Vampire by Lord Byron. See the record of 1820 variant title by Anonymous.
- Library of Congress catalogues one 47-page "book" as The Vampire, published 1820 in Baltimore, which it attributes to J. R. Planché without explanation (not as credited author). --LCCN 33-29860
- From biographical entries on Planché: "Having adapted from a French melodrama, 'Le Vampire,' a play called 'The Vampire, or the Bride of the Isles,' he produced it at the English opera-house on 9 Aug. 1820, when the Vampire trap in the flooring of the stage, then first invented, proved a great attraction." --DNB00: Dictionary of National Biography (1900) "His most famous single play is The Vampyre, or The Bride of the Isles (1820), an adaptation of Charles Nodier's Le Vampire (1820), itself closely based on John Polidori's The Vampyre: A Tale (1819 chap)." --SFE: The Encyclopedia of Fantasy (1997), entry by John Clute
