When fate brings together two young women, Laura and Carmilla, their friendship grows quickly and deeply. But over time, Laura sees that there is something more than a bit unsettling about Carmilla—she’s quite secretive, never joins the household in prayers, and sleeps much of the day. Yet Laura seems unable to find the energy to resist her when her attraction turns to repulsion and back again. When a mysterious plague starts stealing the lives of young women in nearby towns, and Laura’s strange dreams turn into a reality and she too falls ill, she wrestles to reconcile the truth about her charming and eccentric friend.

This Point Blank Classics edition includes the full original text as well as exclusive images exclusive to this edition and an easy to use interactive table of contents. Carmilla is a Gothic novella by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. First published in 1872, it tells the story of a young woman's susceptibility to the attentions of a female vampire named Carmilla. Carmilla predates Bram Stoker's Dracula by 25 years, and has been adapted many times for cinema. Carmilla was first published in the magazine The Dark Blue in late 1871 and early 1872, and then in the author's collection of short stories, In a Glass Darkly the same year. There were two illustrators for the story, both of which appeared in the magazine but which do not appear in modern printings of the book. The two illustrators, David Henry Friston and Michael Fitzgerald, show some inconsistencies in their depiction of the characters, and as such some confusion has arisen in identifying the pictures as part of a continuous plot. The story is presented by Le Fanu as part of the casebook of Dr. Hesselius, whose departures from medical orthodoxy rank him as the first occult doctor in literature. The story is narrated by Laura, one of the two main protagonists of the tale. Laura begins her tale by relating her childhood in a "picturesque and solitary" castle in the midst of an extensive forest in Styria, where she lives with her father, a wealthy English widower, retired from the Austrian Service. When she is six years old, Laura has a vision of a beautiful visitor in her bedchamber. She later claims to have been bitten on the chest, although no wounds are found on her. Carmilla, the title character, is the original prototype for a legion of female and lesbian vampires. Though Le Fanu portrays his vampire's sexuality with the circumspection that one would expect for his time, it is evident that lesbian attraction is the main dynamic between Carmilla and the narrator of the story. When compared to other literary vampires of the 19th century, Carmilla is a similar product of a culture with strict sexual mores and tangible religious fear. While Carmilla selected exclusively female victims, she only becomes emotionally involved with a few. Carmilla had nocturnal habits, but was not confined to the darkness. She had unearthly beauty and was able to change her form and to pass through solid walls. Her animal alter ego was a monstrous black cat, not a large dog as in Dracula. She did, however, sleep in a coffin. Carmilla works as a gothic horror story because her victims are portrayed as succumbing to a perverse and unholy temptation that has severe metaphysical consequences for them. Some critics, among them William Veeder, suggest that Carmilla, notably in its outlandish use of narrative frames, was an important influence on Henry James' The Turn of the Screw., Kindle Edition, Format: Kindle eBook, Label: Point Blank Classics, Point Blank Classics, Product group: eBooks, Published: 2013-09-22, Release date: 2013-09-22, Studio: Point Blank Classics, Sales rank: 2561040.

The Novel predating Bram Stoker's Dracula. Complete edition Carmilla is an 1872 Gothic novella by Irish author Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and one of the early works of vampire fiction, predating Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897) by 26 years. First published as a serial in The Dark Blue (1871-72), the story is narrated by a young woman preyed upon by a female vampire named Carmilla. The character is a prototypical example of the lesbian vampire, expressing romantic desires toward the protagonist. The novella notably never acknowledges homosexuality as an antagonistic trait, leaving it subtle and relatively unmentioned. The story is often anthologized and has been adapted many times in film and other media.

Laura, fille unique d'un gentilhomme anglais installé en Styrie, accueille sans la moindre inquiétude Carmilla, une jeune inconnue qu'un accident a jeté sur SA route. Des indices vampiriques apparaissent alors dans la campagne environnante, dans le château et sur le corps même des deux jeunes filles. L'amie mystérieuse, d'une exquise beauté, abreuve Laura de déclarations si ardentes que la jeune Anglaise est un moment persuadée que Carmilla est un jeune homme travesti. Les efforts déployés par son père et deux solides et amicales préceptrices pour la protéger du mal restent sans effet : Laura devient apathique, paralysée par l'excès d'amour et par le pauvre monstre, mi-femme, mi-vampire qui le lui prodigue. Laura se laisse aimer par Carmilla qui la tue lentement.
