Isn't this neat, the iconic imagery so early in the century ... it really leaps out at one ... Boo!

Pre-Bram Stoker!

It is the longest and most boring thing ever.

No kidding - did you find it online someplace to read?

it is available to download on Gutenberg.org

Thanks for the info. That era also saw Bulwer-Lytton's wordiest works, so it's likely the style is similar. I once read Last Days of Pompeii and it was slow going, although worthwhile.
