Carmilla: A Vampiric Tragedy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798245417929)

She was supposed to be a guest.
She became a haunting.

Set in the shadowed forests and steam-scarred cities of Bavaria between the Great War and the next unspoken catastrophe, Carmilla, a Vampiric Tragedy reimagines Sheridan Le Fanu's classic tale as a work of historical gothic fiction infused with occult science, aristocratic vampire bloodlines, and the quiet hum of early steampunk innovation.

Laura lives a sheltered life in a remote estate, where modern machinery meets old superstition and the wounds of war still linger beneath polite society. When Carmilla arrives-beautiful, enigmatic, and dangerously familiar-Laura is drawn into a bond that feels older than memory itself. As sickness spreads, secrets surface, and hunters close in, the truth of vampirism reveals itself not as myth, but as an ancient, adaptive lineage-one that does not die easily.

This is a story of obsession, survival, and inheritance.
Of love that consumes.
Of monsters who endure.

A gothic tragedy for readers of Dracula, Frankenstein, and dark historical fantasy.
