"The Vampyre" (1819) by John William Polidori is the progenitor of the romantic vampire archetype in horror literature. Unlike many other vampires, Lord Ruthven can be killed by conventional weapons. However, if moonlight falls on his corpse, Ruthven comes back to life.

"Two yards of loose earth was the sole barrier between us. I said to myself - 'I'll have her in my arms again! If she be cold, I'll think it is this north wind that chills me; and if she be motionless, it is sleep.'"
- Emily Brontë, "Wuthering Heights"
