Description
The sapphic vampire story that inspired Dracula, in an irresistible Little Clothbound Classics edition designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith. Laura leads a secluded life in a castle buried deep in the Austrian forest, far away from the dangers of the outside world. That is until a horse and carriage crashes nearby one night, and she and her father take in a weary, young traveller – Carmilla. As mysterious as she is beguiling, Carmilla weaves her way into Laura’s heart.
Life proves less lonely with a friend. But sinister things start happening as the girls become closer, and the forest isn’t the safe haven it once was. Sheridan Le Fanu’s nineteenth-century gothic tale was the first vampire novella.
