Carmilla
by Sheridan Le Fanu
Carmilla is the sapphic classic that created modern vampires as we know. The novella follows the love and downfall of Laura and Carmilla, and how their interrupted love lingers even after years apart.
“…and with gloating eyes she drew me to her, and her hot lips traveled along my cheek in kisses; and she would whisper, almost in sobs, ‘You are mine, you shall be mine, you and I are one for ever.’ Then she had thrown herself back in her chair, with her small hands over her eyes, leaving me trembling.”
