Carmilla

by J. Sheridan Le Fanu

GL · GothicComplete16 chapters

Twenty-five years before Dracula, there was Carmilla. In a lonely castle deep in the forests of Styria, young Laura’s isolated life changes when a carriage accident leaves a beautiful stranger in her family’s care. Carmilla is languid, secretive, and devoted to Laura with an intensity that thrills and unsettles her — as girls in the villages nearby begin to waste away. The original vampire romance between women, and one of the most influential Gothic tales ever written.
