    J. LeFanu

    A major influence on Bram Stoker, when he wrote Dracula, J. Sheridan Le Fanu’s thrilling horror story begins with a near-fatal carriage collision, and the beautiful young Carmilla rescued by the narrator Laura and her father. Laura and Carmilla soon become strangely attracted to each other--and Laura notes Carmilla’s strange behavior, as well as the unexplained deaths of local townspeople once Carmilla is on the scene. Then Laura herself begins to languish…The original vampire story, and clearly Stoker’s model for his own Dracula, Le Fanu’s Carmilla still packs a punch today. Essential reading for any horror fan!
