Carmilla created the modern vampire. She was the first romantic
vampire, and after inspiring Bram Stoker's Dracula she has
continued with us, always in the shadow, influencing culture with a
subtlety that is as alluring as it is elitist. A multi-layered
story of love, loss, and a yearning for both a past and a future
unobtainable, and finally of great sacrifice, Carmilla ranks as one
of the world's great tragedies. A lonely young girl living in a
desolate forest is befriended by a young countess after what seems
a chance encounter. Laura's innocence prevents her from seeing the
obvious, that her new friend Carmilla is a demon of the highest
order, and one who has fallen passionately in love with her. Over
time Carmilla's lust for Laura and her soul overpower her caution,
and the serenity of a life of seclusion becomes a nightmarish
existence for Laura as her world unravels in ways that can never be
repaired. This is an archival quality presentation of the original
unabridged story.
