Young and lonely, Laura lives with her widowed father in a castle in Austria. When a carriage breaks down on their estate the mysterious Carmilla is brought into Laura’s life, who welcomes a potential friend. The girls become fast friends, although Laura can’t help but notice Carmilla’s strange behaviour – sleeping most of the day, sleepwalking, and refusing to talk about her family or past. And then there are the dreams of a large beast entering her room. Carmilla stands as a pioneering work in the vampire genre, predating even Bram Stoker’s Dracula and influencing generations of Gothic literature. Le Fanu’s narrative, with its haunting beauty and sensuous dread, explores themes of love, identity, and the macabre, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of horror fiction. Prepare to be seduced and unnerved by this timeless tale of forbidden passion and the darkness that lurks within the shadows.
JOSEPH SHERIDAN LE FANU [1814-1873] was an Irish mystery and horror author. He had an enormous influence on the horror genre in the 19th and 20th century, especially through his championing of tone and effect rather than shock factor. Among his most noted work is the lesbian vampire novella Carmilla [1872] and mystery Uncle Silas [1864].
