Carmilla

By Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu
Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Carmilla is an 1872 Gothic novella by Irish author Sheridan Le Fanu and one of the early works of vampire fiction. The story is narrated by a young woman preyed upon by a female vampire named Carmilla. In the novella, Le Fanu abolishes the Victorian view of women as merely useful possessions of men, relying on them and needing their constant guardianship. The male characters of the story, such as Laura's father and General Spielsdorf, are exposed as being the opposite of the putative Victorian males – helpless and unproductive.
