Gorgeous new dark collectable edition of Sheridan Le Fanu's gripping and influential vampire novella.

Gorgeous collectable edition of Carmilla, the richly gothic and seductive tale of the feverish relationship between nineteen-year-old Laura and a strange and beautiful guest at their lonely castle, deep in a remote forest of Styria, Austria. This influential novella came 25 years before Dracula, and laid the foundations for many classic vampire tropes; it delves into sexual identity, desire and attraction, female empowerment, the tension between the human and the supernatural, the innocent and the corrupt, all while maintaining a sense of haunting dread and gripping suspense.
