Cult classic doesn’t even begin to cover it for Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla. Full of the twisty corridors and dark corners of gothic romance, the great and terrible beauty of vampires, and sapphic yearning, Carmilla draws you into its moonlit, isolated web as the lonely and isolated teenage Laura becomes entranced by a sudden guest - Carmilla - but also finds herself tormented by nightmares of beasts at the foot of her bed and sharp pains in her neck. As a lifelong fan of vampires, I couldn’t help but be entranced by this haunting book and gorgeous edition.
