Young Laura lives in a secluded castle in the picturesque forests of the Austrian Empire with her father, a retired military man. She feels lonely after the news of the sudden death of Bertha, who could have become her only friend.

But one day, a stranger named Carmilla appears in the castle. Her carriage crashed along the way, and the girl's mother asks to shelter her wounded daughter for a while.

Laura and Carmilla spend a lot of time together, but the mysterious guest does not tell anything about herself. Soon, strange events begin to happen: Laura falls ill, her condition worsens every day, and nightmares torment her at night.

"Carmilla" is the first vampire thriller in the history of literature, written 25 years before the famous "Dracula" by Bram Stoker. The novel has been filmed many times. There are more than 3,000 editions and reprints of "Carmilla" in almost all the languages of the world.

Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu is often compared to Edgar Allan Poe, and his Gothic novels and stories have inspired horror writers for over a century.
