Carmilla

by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu

Twenty-five years before Dracula, there was Carmilla. Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's 1872 novella introduced the vampire to English literature in a form at once more intimate and more disturbing than anything that came after — a tale of obsession, identity, and the seductive terror of a predator who feels like a friend. Strikingly modern in its psychological complexity and its portrait of female desire, Carmilla remains one of the most compelling works of Gothic horror ever written. This Sequoia edition presents the complete original text in a beautifully formatted reading edition.
