Carmilla

Living alone in a remote castle in Styria on the border of Austria and Hungary, Laura and her father play the owner of an unexpected guest, beautiful young Carmilla. While her arrival is closely followed by an outbreak of unexplained deaths in the region, the growing friendship of young women coincides with a series of nightmares and mysterious night visits, as well as a gradual downward spiral in Laura's health. A spooky story of the dead, Carmilla is a beautifully written example of the Gothic genre. Believed to be the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Gothic masterpiece Dracula, written more than two decades later, Carmilla stands out as an all-time horror classic.
