Carmilla

A collection of novellas by the classic "dark romanticism" author Sheridan Le Fanu about obsessions, spirit-seeing, and other mysterious phenomena. One of them, "Carmilla," inspired Bram Stoker to create "Dracula." The book features an aesthetic cover in gothic style by Inna Gunther.

Young Laura leads a measured life in a secluded ancient castle, but everything changes when the fateful beauty Carmilla enters her life. What secrets does her ancient lineage hold? Who is her true friend? And why is Laura suddenly struck by a mysterious illness?

Sheridan Le Fanu knew well what he was writing about: the writer experienced bouts of unexplained anxiety throughout his life. In his stories, there is a sinister sense of the blurred boundaries between reality and dark fantasies, the vulnerability of rationality, and futile attempts to explain phenomena beyond the familiar world.
