Carmilla - (Clásicos Ilustrados) by Joseph Thomas Le Fanu (Hardcover)

About the Book

Carmilla was originally serialised in the magazine The Dark Blue between 1871 and 1872.

Book Synopsis

Carmilla, el clásico vampírico de Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, se anticipó en un cuarto de siglo al Drácula de Bram Stoker, pero su valor va mucho más allá que el de ser el antecedente femenino del famoso conde de Transilvania. La escabrosa y atrevida relación entre sus protagonistas, Laura y Carmilla, aún hoy resulta sorprendente.

Carmilla is Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's classic vampire, and she precedes Stoker's Dracula by a quarter of a century. Its literary value goes far beyond the Transylvanian lore. The relationship between Laura and Carmilla is so gripping that nearly two centuries after its inception, it continues to surprise readers.
