This is an archival quality presentation of the original unabridged story..
Over time Carmilla\'s lust for Laura and her soul overpower her caution, and the serenity of a life of seclusion becomes a nightmarish existence for Laura as her world unravels in ways that can never be repaired.
Laura\'s innocence prevents her from seeing the obvious, that her new friend Carmilla is a demon of the highest order, and one who has fallen passionately in Love with her.
A lonely young girl living in a desolate forest is befriended by a young countess after what seems a chance encounter.
A multi-layered Story of love, loss, and a yearning for both a past and a future unobtainable, and finally of great sacrifice, Carmilla ranks as one of the world\'s great tragedies.
She was the first romantic vampire, and after inspiring Bram Stoker\'s Dracula she has continued with us, always in the shadow, influencing culture with a subtlety that is as alluring as it is elitist.
Sheridan Le Fanu Carmilla created the modern vampire.
