Sinopse

Before Dracula, there was Carmilla.
In the isolated forests of 19th-century Styria, young Laura lives a quiet life in her father's remote castle—until the arrival of a mysterious and beautiful guest, Carmilla. As the two form an intense and unsettling bond, strange occurrences and unexplained illnesses plague the surrounding countryside. Slowly, Laura begins to suspect a dark truth: her charming new companion may be hiding a deadly secret.

First published in 1872, Carmilla is Sheridan Le Fanu's haunting novella that helped shape the modern vampire myth and inspired countless works of horror, including Bram Stoker's Dracula. With its eerie atmosphere, gothic romance, and subtle undertones of forbidden desire, it remains one of the most influential and daring supernatural tales ever written.

"A chilling, seductive masterpiece of gothic fiction."
– The Guardian

"One of the earliest and most enduring vampire stories—timeless and unsettling."
– The New York Times

    Mark is uprooted from his home and high school in the Twin Cities and forced to move with his family into a Victorian in Nowhere-ville. Busy with the relocation and fitting in, Mark’s parents don’t see what’s unfolding around them—the way rooms and left behind objects seem alive with a haunted past. 
    That past is the mid-1800s where Emma dwells. Tormented by the loss of her mother and having to live with her overbearing father who hopes to see the eradication of all indigenous people, she nurses soldiers back to health. Her torment escalates as she develops a passion for the Native American hired hand who sleeps just beyond her bedroom door. Together, they must unite to battle the supernatural force threatening to consume—and curse—all who dare to tread on the grounds. Will their forbidden love survive? 
    Back in the 1980s, Mark keeps his ghostly encounters to himself, all the while sinking deeper into the house's dark, alluring, and ultimately terrifying history. As romantic entanglements with the ghostly Emma intensify, the paranormal activity heightens. Past and present come together. Everything is connected—from the bricks in the walls to the hearts beating in their chests, all the secrets of Fountain Dead are finally unearthed.

    An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories.  
    But where do these ideas and stories come from?  A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form?  An inspiration from a Muse?  A suggestion from an everyday event? 
    Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work.  They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.
