Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu


Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu

114 pages


Read for a horror lit class, very happy I did!



Carmilla is a story of a female vampire that preys on young women (noted in The Origins of the Queer Vampire), causing an epidemic in a Styrian town and terror in a young woman's bedroom. Unlike other vampire tales, such as Bram Stoker's Dracula, the title character is a female vampire, not a male.
