Carmilla : The Original Vampire Tale of Forbidden Desire and Gothic Horror by Sheridan Le Fanu

🦇 Before Dracula, there was Carmilla. And she was far more seductive…

Published over 25 years before Bram Stoker's Dracula, Carmilla is the haunting, groundbreaking novella that introduced the world to the lesbian vampire—and forever changed Gothic horror 🩸🌕.

Set in a remote Austrian castle, this eerie, sensual tale follows Laura, a young woman slowly consumed by the enigmatic and beautiful Carmilla. As dreams turn to nightmares and affection blurs with terror, the line between love and doom begins to vanish.

Why modern readers and horror fans adore this cult classic:

✔ "A mesmerizing mix of dread, desire, and decadence."

✔ "Carmilla walked so Dracula could run."

✔ Perfect for fans of LGBTQ+ fiction, dark romance, and atmospheric horror 💀🌹
