Beschreibung

Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla, the original vampire tale that predates Dracula by twenty-five years, has captivated readers for generations. This atmospheric and gripping novel explores a realm where fear and fascination intertwine, where the mysteries of the undead intrude upon the ordinary lives of innocents. Set against the backdrop of a remote European castle, this chilling narrative explores themes of forbidden love, the supernatural, and the darkness that lies within the human soul. Carmilla stands as the cornerstone of vampire literature, inspiring countless adaptations in movies and television and shaping the iconic vampire mythos we know today. This Warbler Classics edition includes an essay on Camilla by Roger Dodson and a biographical timeline.

Über den Autor

Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu was the leading Gothic horror writer during the nineteenth century. Born in Ireland in 1814, he grew up in a literary family and began writing for the Dublin University Magazine in 1838. He published his first ghost story, "The Ghost and the Bone-Setter," in 1838. His most notable work, Carmilla, published in 1872, was the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula. Le Fanu's other notable works include The House by the Churchyard (1863), Wylder's Hand (1864), Uncle Silas: A Tale of Bartram-Haugh (1864), Guy Deverell (1865), and In a Glass Darkly (1871). Le Fanu is widely considered to be the father of the English ghost story. He died in 1873, one year after his most prolific work, Carmilla, was published. It is rumored that he "died of fright."
