Synopsis

Before Dracula, there was Carmilla—mysterious, seductive, and deadly.

First published in 1872, Carmilla is a haunting tale of forbidden desire and supernatural terror. Sheridan Le Fanu's novella predates Dracula by 26 years and helped lay the foundation for the modern vampire myth. Set in a remote castle in the Austrian countryside, this eerie and sensual story follows young Laura as she becomes captivated—and corrupted—by the enigmatic Carmilla.

With its moody atmosphere, lesbian undertones, and powerful critique of Victorian morality, Carmilla has become a cult classic and a cornerstone of gothic horror literature.

✔ The complete, unabridged text
✔ Kindle-optimized formatting with clickable TOC
✔ Perfect for fans of gothic fiction, horror, LGBTQ+ classics, and vampire literature

    Two is better than one; unless the second is hitching a ride in your body. 
     
     
     
    Then one is definitely better than two. 
     
     
     
    After agreeing to let the spirit of Drake Montague inhabit my body (probably not one of my better ideas), I soon discover the twentieth-century French policeman may be dead, but his lothario longings sure aren't. 
     
     
     
    Now I have to find a way to explain to my sweet, sexy, and very alive boyfriend, Ryan Kelly, that a spirit has taken up residence in my head, whispering French words of affection day and night. And, ahem, French is a pretty . . . sexy language. 
     
     
     
    While I'm torn between my love for a living man and my growing affection for one deceased, supernatural activity in New Orleans is at an all-time high. Something wicked this way is definitely coming. 
     
     
     
    With the help of my friends (and a little voodoo), I learn that the demonic spirit of the Axeman may still be dwelling in my house. Thanks a lot, realtor.com!
