Carmilla
A stunning hardcover edition of the original vampire story that inspired Dracula—now with a haunting art deco design, vibrant red foil, and thoughtful layout for a seductive reading experience

As Carmilla becomes increasingly strange and volatile, prone to eerie nocturnal wanderings, Laura finds herself tormented by nightmares and growing weaker by the day...
