Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu 
Carmilla [EPUB ebook] 
With linked Table of Contents

This Gothic novella tells the story of a young woman’s susceptibility to the attentions of a female vampire named Carmilla. 'Carmilla’ predates Bram Stoker’s 'Dracula’ by 25 years, and has been adapted many times for cinema. Although 'Carmilla’ is a lesser known and far shorter Gothic vampire story than the generally-considered master work of that genre, 'Dracula, ’ the latter is heavily influenced by Sheridan Le Fanu’s short story.
