About Carmilla and Laura

In the late 19th century, Laura lives a lonely life in a schloss by the forest, Styria, with only her doting father and two governesses for company. A chance accident brings a new companion, however - the eccentric and beautiful Carmilla. With charm unparalleled and habits as mysterious as her history, Carmilla's allure is undeniable, drawing Laura closer with every affectionate touch and word. Attraction blossoms into a temptation Laura fears to name, a tantalizing passion burning brighter than the fires of hell. But when a mysterious plague begins stealing the lives of young women in her home and the village beyond, Laura wrestles to reconcile the truth - that the gentle, fragile woman she loves may be a monster cast out of heaven. [***Carmilla***](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL2895536W), the classic vampire novella written by [Sheridan LeFanu](https://openlibrary.org/authors/OL440124A/), receives new life in this gorgeous retelling, centered on the provocative, controversial leads of the original, ***Carmilla and Laura***.
