Carmilla

Book Description:

Carmilla is Sheridan Le Fanu’s chilling and influential vampire novella, first published in 1872 — decades before Dracula. Set in a remote castle in the Austrian countryside, the story follows Laura, a lonely young woman whose life is upended by the arrival of the mysterious and alluring Carmilla. As their bond deepens, strange events unfold: nightmares, unexplained illnesses, and a growing sense of dread.

With its haunting atmosphere and subtle sensuality, Carmilla explores themes of desire, identity, and the supernatural. Le Fanu’s tale is a gothic classic that redefined the vampire myth — eerie, elegant, and unforgettable.
