By Sheridan Le Fanu
Foreword by Eleanor Keane
“Her hot lips traveled along my cheek in kisses; and she would whisper, almost in sobs, ‘You are mine, you shall be mine, you and I are one forever.’”
Innocent young Laura leads a happy, sheltered life in a Styrian castle, where she lives with her father and two governesses. One night, they witness a carriage accident that injures a beautiful young woman: Carmilla. Her mother, on an urgent errand, must leave her behind at the castle. As their friendship deepens, Laura is struck by a mysterious malady. Will she realize her danger too late?
In this sapphic vampire story, Sheridan Le Fanu introduces Carmilla, a beautiful young woman who wreaks havoc on an Austrian town. Fans of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Bram Stoker’s Dracula will enjoy this gothic tale, published twenty-five years before Stoker’s novel. Carmilla is the vampire story that started it all.
With a foreword written by Eleanor Keane—whose doctoral thesis examined fin-de-siècle fairy tales as examples of queer decadent narratives—her research interests focus expressions of gender, decadence, and sexuality within the late nineteenth century.
