Sheridan Le Fanu is a master of ghost and horror stories. His style is gothic. The protagonist might be a young woman without family and friends. The setting is lonely and isolated, often a decaying manor or castle. A growing sense of malice and evil emerges as the story unfolds. Le Fanu was able to transform this trite formula into remarkably suspenseful stories that haunt the reader long ...             The Darker Passions: Carmilla (Darker Passions)4 reviews Amarantha Knight Rhinoceros Publications, 1997 The Darker Passions : Carmilla Dr. Hesselius discovers an old box with a painting of a young woman and papers in the box.

I've always loved vampires, especially the lyric eroticism of the original Carmilla by LeFanu. So of course I grabbed this book when it was first published. I enjoyed the read, and tucked it away in my collection, and only just recently pulled it out again for another look. A friend had seen it on my book shelf and exclaimed that there was a 'sequel' to ...             Carmilla1 review J., Sheridan Le Fanu Wildside Press, 2005 Little-known gem of vampiria Pre-dating Bram Stoker's Dracula, this charmingly accessible vampire novel is perhaps a bit more subtle than modern novels but daring nonetheless, especially in the lesbian overtones that one might read as a cautionary message to young women of the era tempted to explore forbidden sensual impulses. Highly recommended.             Carmilla13 reviews J. Sheridan Le Fanu Wildside Press, 2005 High Praise for a Genre I'm Not Even Totally Into! J. Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla is included in its entirety in a compilation book of Irish literature that I own. I wasn't impressed with a lot of the stuff I was looking at in it, but one day when I was ill from work, I leafed through the compilation to Le Fanu's mini novel and, once I began to read it, couldn't put it down until I was finished. This is highly unusual for me because I'm not big ...             Carmilla1 review Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu Soft Editions, 2003 BEFORE DRACULA THERE WAS CARMILLA J. Sheridan LeFanu's "Carmilla" stands as one of the richest, most literate and most enduring stories in the history of the vampire sub-genre. Many rate it higher than Bram Stoker's "Dracula," and while that estimation is at least debatable, there is no debate that "Carmilla" has exerted a mighty influence, consciously or not, on most vampire fiction to follow in its wake, "Dracula" not ...             Carmilla2 reviews Neeland Media LLC, 2004 SHORT & SWEET Its not gory, or over the top. Its a simple, well written vampire tale. I finished it in one day, I loved it.             Carmilla: A Vampyre Tale2 reviews Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu Audio Partners, 2000 Classy version of classic horror story "Carmilla," which predates Stoker's "Dracula," introduced the lesbian vampire to literature, and this reading of the entire text by Megan Follows breathes real life into LeFanu's somewhat antiquated Victorian style. Follows makes the narrator Laura into an intelligent and compelling guide through the tale; she also puts the proper ambivalence in the descriptions of Carmilla's advances, vampiric ...             Three Vampire Tales: Dracula, Carmilla, and The Vampyre (New Riverside Editions)4 reviews Bram Stoker, Sheridan Le Fanu, ...
