Carmilla (1872) remains the most famous, and original, lesbian vampire story of them all. Set in the shadowlands of old Styria, J. Sheridan Le Fanuâs gothic-horror classic tells of the strange lust and symbiosis between an innocent young girl and Carmilla, the archetypal âfatal womanâ and sexual predator. Carmilla has been the inspiration for numerous vampire films, including Hammerâs famous âKarnstein Trilogyâ: The Vampire Lovers, Lust For A Vampire, and Twins Of Evil. This new dedicated edition includes a new and illuminating introduction by editor Candice Black.
