Los redivivos

A British author’s original 1983 cult book details the tragic life of Cornish nobleman John Richard Le Perrowne, a vampire who is horrified by the excesses of his fellow revenants and who tries to seek solace in the view that he is, like all predators, merely a part of nature, but whose exemption from death ultimately makes him realize that he and his kind are forever alienated from other life–even from each other.
