Carmilla

Sheridan Le Fanu

Sinopsis

"I live in your warm life, and you shall die—die, sweetly die—into mine."

In a lonely schloss deep within the forest of Styria, young Laura leads a secluded life with her father. Her world is forever changed when a mysterious carriage accident brings a beautiful, enigmatic guest into their home: Carmilla. As an intense and feverish bond develops between the two women, a strange wasting sickness begins to claim the lives of girls in the surrounding villages, and Laura finds her own strength ebbing away as she is haunted by dreams of a giant, soot-black beast.

The Architect of the Vampire Mythos: Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla is a masterclass in atmospheric dread. It introduced many of the conventions that would define the genre: the noble but cursed antagonist, the ability of the vampire to slip through locked doors, and the specialized "specialist" required to end the nightmare. Long before Van Helsing, there was General Spielsdorf and Baron Vordenburg.

A Story of Shadow and Subtext: Beneath the Gothic horror lies a groundbreaking exploration of attraction and obsession. Carmilla's "love" for Laura is both tender and predatory, creating a psychological depth that was revolutionary for its time. With its lush prose and haunting imagery—from the moonlit ruins of the Karnstein estate to the hidden portrait of a long-dead ancestor—Carmilla remains one of the most influential and chilling works in the history of the supernatural.

The original shadow is waiting. Purchase "Carmilla" today and discover the dark elegance of the vampire's first kiss.

Vodou Child - A Jerry Snyder Novel

Wayne Stinnett, Stewart Matthews

An evil spirit murdered a two-bit hustler preacher on French St. Martin. At least, that’s what a conspiracy obsessed Vodou priest would have Jerry Snyder and DJ Martin believe, when they’re called in to investigate the preacher’s stabbing and the kidnapping of his underage girlfriend. 
To a seasoned investigator like Jerry, a murderous spirit seems… far fetched. For starters, a laundry list of locals were swindled by the preacher, and no matter how vengeful a ghost may become, Jerry knows that without a physical body, it’s impossible to hold a knife. 
But, as Jerry and DJ methodically work the case, neither man can shake the feeling that something wicked is chasing them through the dark alleys and secret churches of St. Martin. Whatever it is, Jerry has to find a way to shake it off and get the job done, because there’s still a kidnapped girl to be saved.
