Synopsis "Carmilla, Deluxe Edition: The Cult Classic That Inspired Dracula "

A beautifully produced edition of the ORIGINAL vampire story--predating Dracula by more than 25 years--with a stunning iconic cover + thoughtful design and layout to ensure the most seductive reading experience... "What Carmilla lacks in sophistication -- with a reveal so laughably obvious it's actually charming -- it makes up for with its surprisingly gentle, nonjudgmental depiction of Sapphic longing. Does Carmilla want to drain her tender new young friend? Yes! But she feels bad about it, and it's that exploration of obsessive first love being both exciting and monstrous that makes this story perfect for Y.A. readers, even if it predates the young adult category by many decades." -- Kiersten White, the Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein and Hide Steeped in the sexual tension between two young women, this is a beautiful, brand-new edition of the original cult classic which influenced Dracula and all the vampire stories that followed, including Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. In an isolated castle deep in the Austrian forest, teenaged Laura leads a solitary life with only her father, attendant and tutor for company. Until one moonlit night, a horse-drawn carriage crashes into view, carrying an unexpected guest -- the beautiful Carmilla. So begins a feverish friendship between Laura and her entrancing new companion, one defined by mysterious happenings and infused with an implicit but undeniable eroticism. As Carmilla becomes increasingly strange and volatile, prone to eerie nocturnal wanderings, Laura finds herself tormented by nightmares and growing weaker by the day...

Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu nació el 28 de agosto de 1814 en Dublín, Irlanda, y se convirtió en uno de los escritores más importantes del siglo XIX en el género de la literatura gótica y de misterio. Hijo de una familia acomodada, estudió en Dublín y se dedicó a la escritura desde joven, combinando su carrera literaria con el periodismo y la edición de revistas.

Le Fanu es conocido por sus relatos de suspenso, terror psicológico y lo sobrenatural, influyendo en autores posteriores como Bram Stoker y Arthur Conan Doyle. Sus cuentos a menudo presentan casas encantadas, vampiros y fenómenos inexplicables, explorando el miedo humano, la superstición y la fragilidad de la mente. Entre sus obras más destacadas se encuentran Carmilla (1872), considerada una de las primeras historias de vampiros modernas, y The House by the Churchyard (1863), una novela que combina misterio con intriga social.

Su estilo se caracteriza por la sutileza y el suspense progresivo, evitando el sensacionalismo directo y creando una atmósfera inquietante a través de la narrativa detallada y los personajes psicológicamente complejos. Sheridan Le Fanu falleció el 7 de febrero de 1873 en Dublín, dejando un legado literario que consolidó su reputación como maestro del terror gótico y precursor del relato de vampiros en la literatura inglesa.

Muy buena edición, precioso trabajo de diseño y letra legible- el único problema es que están un poco dañadas las esquinas pero son cosas mínimas

Novela gótica con una vampiresa depredadora en busca de víctimas para beber y amar. La tensión sexual entre Carmilla y Laura es novedosa para el siglo XIX. Si bien el personaje de Laura puede llegar a desesperar por momentos por ser tan cándida, la presencia de Carmilla lo subsana. Final trepidante.
