Carmilla : The Gothic Vampire Classic That Predates Dracula by Sheridan Le Fanu

Before Dracula, there was Carmilla—mysterious, seductive, and deadly.

First published in 1872, Carmilla is a haunting tale of forbidden desire and supernatural terror. Sheridan Le Fanu's novella predates Dracula by 26 years and helped lay the foundation for the modern vampire myth. Set in a remote castle in the Austrian countryside, this eerie and sensual story follows young Laura as she becomes captivated—and corrupted—by the enigmatic Carmilla.

With its moody atmosphere, lesbian undertones, and powerful critique of Victorian morality, Carmilla has become a cult classic and a cornerstone of gothic horror literature.
