Carmilla J.S. Le Fanu, Pam Keesey

"Carmilla" is more than the most famous and influential lesbian vampire story ever written. It is among the most famous vampire stories of all time. Originally serialized in 1871, it appeared 26 years before Dracula, and likely influenced Bram Stoker as he weaved the tale we all know so well. This edition includes an introduction that places the story and its legacy in historical context, as well as an annotated filmography written by noted anthologist and film critic, Pam Keesey.
