🩸 Before Dracula… there was Carmilla.
Mysterious. Alluring. Deadly. In Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla, a young woman named Laura finds herself both fascinated and disturbed by a beautiful female guest at her father's remote castle. As a strange illness spreads and whispers of ancient curses echo through the forest, Laura uncovers a terrifying truth: her charming visitor may not be who—or what—she seems.
Published in 1872, Carmilla is one of the earliest vampire stories in English literature, and the first to explore female vampirism and gothic sensuality. With its haunting atmosphere, slow-burning dread, and themes of forbidden desire, this novella has earned its place as a cornerstone of supernatural fiction and a bold forerunner to Dracula.
