Carmilla: A Tragic Love Story is by J. Sheridan Le Fanu. A wonderfully creepy Gothic fantasy tale. Carmilla is a vampire who insinuates herself into the lives of various young girls and then kills them. The story begins when young Laura, living with her father in a desolate area of Austria, witnesses a carriage accident and is convinced to give shelter to Carmilla, the "daughter" of the woman who owned the carriage. Carmilla however, is not what she seems, and as strange deaths began to occur around the schloss, Laura and her father discover their house guest is not as harmless as she appears. An absolute must for scary Halloween tales.
Ratings: 10th grade - 9 out of 10 - V (Violence).
