Carmilla, Deluxe Edition: The cult classic that inspired Dracula

Lovely book, easy to understand even if you're like me and not familiar with reading classics. Would recommend!

The book jacket was folded outwards in a way that couldn't be undone, and the glossy material had odd smudges and smears. Took a bit of work to get out without affecting it. But the crease is stuck there.

Very pleased and you will be also

Beautiful hard. Over copy. Study cover and pages! Thank you !

Beautiful copy of a classic. Perfect gift for a book lover

I enjoyed this story very interesting

Considered the first vampire novel, the book is told through the perspective of Laura, a lonely young lady who lives in a castle with her old father.One day, a lady in her horse carriage crashed and Laura and her dad decided to take the young lady to their castle. Her name was Carmilla, and she was too unwell to travel after the accident. During her stay with the family, a friendship between Laura and Carmilla begun. But Carmilla had some very strange nocturnal behavior and that started affecting Laura.Carmilla is a symbol of female power. It is a quick read. It holds themes that are ahead of its time. If you are looking for something dark, or if you like gothic vampire stories I highly recommend this book.

I got this expecting a slightly different story. Descriptions and reviews were quite off, based on those I viewed. I essentially was pulled in for the original vampire story.It's very well written. The writing style was quite amusing, to me. The story is a bit dry but kept me engaged. I found the ending a bit underwhelming.It very much challenged what I thought of vampires.
