Before Dracula there was Carmilla, the queen of the sapphic vampires, created by the Irish author J.S. Le Fanu. Carmilla is a landmark in vampire fiction, the character portrayed in numerous horror films, most notably Hammer’s The Vampire Lovers. The similarities between Carmilla and Bram Stoker’s Dracula are striking, with Le Fanu’s Baron Vordenburg anticipating Stoker’s Van Helsing, while Carmilla is another undead sexually magnetic aristocrat posing as a descendant of herself. Le Fanu was a Victorian master of gothic, mystery, and supernatural fiction, and the father of the modern ghost story. As M.R. James wrote of him, ‘I do not think that there are better ghost stories anywhere than the best of Le Fanu’s.’
This collection brings together Le Fanu’s greatest short stories, full of horror, intrigue, Irish folklore, and gallows humour, all building towards his masterpiece, Carmilla, the chilling tale of a beautiful girl who came to stay…
