APOLLO CLASSICS
First published in 1872, this Gothic novella tells the story of Laura, a young woman living in a remote castle close by an abandoned village, whose peaceful life is disrupted by the arrival of the mysterious and seductive Carmilla. As the bond between Laura and Carmilla deepens, Laura becomes tangled in a web of mystery, supernatural terror, and forbidden love.
With its eerie atmosphere, subtle psychological tension, and exploration of LGBTQ+ themes, Carmilla continues to entertain and inspire readers for over a century. This timeless story continues to inspire adaptations in literature, film, and television, laying the groundwork for the entire vampire genre.
Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla is not just a classic of Victorian literature—it is one of the earliest and most influential vampire stories ever written, even predating Bram Stoker’s Dracula by over 25 years.
