About the book
“ You will think me cruel, very selfish, but love is always selfish; the more ardent, the more selfish.” Carmilla is a haunting gothic tale and one of the earliest examples of vampire literature, predating Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897) by twenty-five years. The story of a lonely young woman living in a remote location, the tale explores eerie seduction, supernatural mystery, and forbidden desire. Laura and her father live a quiet life in their secluded castle in the dense Austrian forest, where she has no other companions than her governess and the occasional visitor. Her solitary life is disrupted by the arrival of the enigmatic and alluring Carmilla, and as their bond deepens, Laura begins to suffer from strange dreams—she is both attracted and repulsed by Carmilla, but seems unable to find the energy to resist her.
