** Volume 4 of Creator/ETAHoffmann's ''The Serapion Brethren'' (1821) features a abridged retelling of the story (there credited to Byron). This is then contrasted with the tale of Aurelia, an original story about a more reluctant, tragic vampire.
** Literature/TheCountOfMonteCristo gives the story a ShoutOut where the title character is compared to Ruthven. Author Creator/AlexandreDumas was a fan of the 1820 play, and would later {{Remake}} [[PromotedFanboy said play himself.]]

** In the ''Literature/EstherDiamond'' book ''Vamparazzi'', the eponymous character plays Aubrey's sister in a production of the play based on the book. Ruthven is played by a ShamSupernatural [[ThePrimaDonna prima donna]] who is suspected of committing several murders carried out by a real vampire. The actor playing Aubrey also gets several TakeThat comments about how his character is TooDumbToLive.
** In the ''Franchise/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' book ''Bloody Fool in Love: A Spike Prequel'', Ruthven is a real vampire who had a book written about him and apparently turned John Polidori into a vampire afterward, either to reward him or punish him for writing ''The Vampyre'' (Ruthven's opinion of the book is never confirmed). He now runs a WeirdTradeUnion for vampires and comes across as far less cruel and hedonistic than the character from Polidori's book.
