Summary "Doom of the House of Duryea" by Earl Peirce is a horror novel written in the early 20th century, specifically published in 1936. The book explores themes of family curses and the haunting legacy of vampirism, set against a backdrop of psychological tension and dark folklore. It delves into the complexities of a father-son relationship marred by superstition, tragedy, and ancestral darkness. The story follows Arthur Duryea, who reunites with his estranged father, Dr. Henry Duryea, after twenty years. As they attempt to rebuild their bond at a secluded lodge in Maine, they confront the sinister family legacy tied to vampirism and a history of death that has plagued the Duryea lineage. The narrative intensifies when Arthur discovers a book detailing the horrifying truth behind their ancestry, revealing that a family member's curse may be awakening once more. The novel culminates in a tragic and chilling confrontation with fate, culminating in the deaths of both Arthur and his father, leaving behind an inexplicable mystery that echoes the family's dark past.
