Carmilla

Before Dracula, there was Carmilla—the haunting Gothic tale that first introduced the world to the vampire as we know it. Written by Sheridan Le Fanu in 1872, this novella is one of the earliest and most influential works of supernatural fiction, blending horror, mystery, and forbidden desire into an unforgettable story.

Set in a remote castle in the forests of Styria, the story follows young Laura, whose life is forever changed when the mysterious and enchanting Carmilla comes to stay. As their bond deepens, strange occurrences and chilling secrets unravel, revealing a dark truth that threatens both body and soul.

With its eerie atmosphere, themes of passion and fear, and exploration of the uncanny, Carmilla stands as a cornerstone of Gothic literature. Long before Bram Stoker's Dracula, Le Fanu's tale shaped the vampire mythos and continues to captivate readers with its suspense and seductive power.

Celebrated for its psychological depth and groundbreaking themes, this novella is a must-read for fans of classic horror, Gothic fiction, and vampire legends.
