CARMILLA, Special Illustrated Edition - Bram Stoker - Bog

WATCH OUT...THERE ARE VAMPIRES WITHIN THESE PAGES! This is the ULTIMATE edition of J. Sheridan Le Fanu's "Carmilla." This Armchair Fiction Special Illustrated Edition features more than TWO DOZEN graphics, including original interior illustrations, photographs, and movie poster reproductions. "Carmilla" is a classic horror tale and one of the earliest examples of vampire fiction. It was written in 1871 and predates Bram Stoker's "Dracula" by the better part of three decades. It is also a female vampire story, dealing with lesbianism during an era when such subjects were usually taboo-especially in fiction. "Carmilla" first saw print as a four-part serial in The Dark Blue magazine in 1871. It has been reprinted countless times over the past century-and-a-half. Critics have generally hailed it as an immensely entertaining short novel filled with gothic thrills and moments of latent terror. This Armchair Fiction Edition comes complete with original interior illustrations, author portraits, as well as a knock-out movie memorabilia gallery featuring posters and stills from the numerous filmed versions of Le Fanu's classic story. Also included are two other vampire gems, Bram Stoker's very underrated "Dracula's Guest," and Victoria Glad's "Each Man Kills," the latter of which was first published in "Weird Tales." So pull up the bed covers and read on...if you have the nerve!
