SynopsisA stunning hardcover edition of the original vampire story that inspired Dracula--now with a haunting art deco design, vibrant red foil, and thoughtful layout for a seductive reading experience Sapphic longing meets gothic horror in this "exploration of obsessive first love [as] both exciting and monstrous . . . perfect for YA readers" and adult fans of Anne Rice (Kiersten White, New York Times bestselling author). Steeped in the sexual tension between two young women, this is a beautiful, brand-new edition of the original cult classic which influenced Dracula and all the vampire stories that followed, including Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles . In an isolated castle deep in the Austrian forest, teenaged Laura leads a solitary life with only her father, attendant and tutor for company. Until one moonlit night, a horse-drawn carriage crashes into view, carrying an unexpected guest--the beautiful Carmilla. So begins a feverish friendship between Laura and her entrancing new companion, one defined by mysterious happenings and infused with an implicit but undeniable eroticism. As Carmilla becomes increasingly strange and volatile, prone to eerie nocturnal wanderings, Laura finds herself tormented by nightmares and growing weaker by the day..., " A beautiful gift edition of this cult classic female vampire story, which predated and greatly influenced Dracula . ""I have been in love with no one, and never shall,"" she whispered, ""unless it should be with you."" A lonely castle, deep in the Styrian forest - here Laura leads a solitary life, with only her elderly father for company, until a moonlit night brings an unexpected guest to the schloss. At first Laura is glad to finally have a female companion of her own age, but her new friend's strange habits and eerie nocturnal wanderings quickly become unsettling, and soon a ghastly truth is revealed. Suffused with gothic horror and sexual tension, Carmilla predated Dracula by 26 years, has inspired generations of writers and is the foundation of the lesbian vampire myth."
