Research History
Malcolm Farmer submitted a cite from a 2000 reprint of James H. Schmitz's "Blood of Nalaika"; Fred Galvin checked its 1953 first publication (as "The Vampirate"), and found that that version used "mutant" rather than "genetically engineered".The 1957 Silverberg quote isn't an adjective. We would like anything earlier than 1969.
