What if love itself was a beautiful curse-born in darkness and thirsting for your soul?First published in 1872, Carmilla by J. Sheridan Le Fanu is the original vampire romance-predating Dracula by over 25 years. But where other vampire tales focus on horror alone, Carmilla seduces with charm, intimacy, and a slow-burning dread that lingers long after the final page.
In this modernized edition, the eerie story of Laura and Carmilla unfolds with vivid clarity. When the enigmatic Carmilla becomes a guest in Laura's isolated castle, a deep, inexplicable connection blossoms between them. But as the region is gripped by mysterious deaths and dreams turn to nightmares, the truth about Carmilla's identity begins to emerge.
