Carmilla

Summary

A stranger arrives in the dead of night—beautiful, mysterious, and utterly captivating. From the moment Carmilla enters Laura’s life, an irresistible bond forms between them, one that is as intoxicating as it is forbidden. Carmilla’s touch lingers too long, her whispers are too intimate, and her gaze burns with a desire that Laura cannot understand—but cannot resist.

What begins as a seductive friendship soon becomes something deeper, something dangerous. As Laura falls further under Carmilla’s spell, she is consumed by fevered dreams, stolen kisses in the dark, and a longing she dares not name. But beneath Carmilla’s beauty lies an unspeakable secret, a hunger that cannot be tamed. When strange deaths plague the village and Laura’s strength begins to fade, the truth becomes impossible to ignore—Carmilla’s love may be as deadly as it is irresistible.

J. Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla is a masterpiece of gothic horror and sensual romance, a tale of passion and predation, where love and death are entwined in a dark and haunting embrace. Long before Dracula, this mesmerizing vampire story dared to explore the seductive power of the undead—and the dangers of surrendering to forbidden desire.
