Description

Carmilla (Illustrated) contains 16 beautiful artworks by Babette van den Berg. Carmilla is a Gothic novella by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu first published in 1872. It 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. 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 Le Fanu's short story. Carmilla, the title character, is the original prototype for a legion of female and lesbian vampires. Though Le Fanu portrays his vampire's sexuality with the circumspection that one would expect for his time, it is evident that lesbian attraction is the main dynamic between Carmilla and the narrator of the story. Cradle of Filth, produced an album called "Dusk & Her Embrace" inspired by "Carmilla." They also recorded an instrumental track titled "Carmilla's Masque." Lead singer Dani Filth has often cited Sheridan Le Fanu as an inspiration to his lyrics.
