Carmilla with Illustrations

In a castle isolated from the outside world, deep in the Austrian Styria forests, Laura leads a secluded life with her father and a few servants. One moonlit night, a carriage crashes in the field, bringing an unexpected guest – the beautiful Carmilla. Laura and her father invite her to stay with them until she recovers. The beautiful stranger accepts the offer. Soon, strange events begin to occur: Laura falls ill, her condition deteriorates day by day, and she suffers from suffocating episodes at night. After several torturous nights, young Laura is destined to learn the shocking truth about the mysterious guest.
