The book is about the novella "Carmilla" by Sheridan Le Fanu, which is a
prototypical example of the lesbian vampire genre. The story is narrated by
Laura, a teenage girl who lives with her father in a castle in Styria. Laura's
father receives a letter from his friend, General Spielsdorf, informing him of
the mysterious death of his niece, Bertha Rheinfeldt. Laura and the General
investigate the matter and encounter a beautiful young woman named Carmilla,
who is revealed to be a vampire. The story explores themes of female
empowerment, dualism, and sexuality. "Carmilla" has inspired numerous
adaptations in various media, including literature, music, film, and
television. The novella has been re-imagined, retold, and referenced in many
works of fiction. The character of Carmilla has become an iconic figure in
popular culture.
