Carmilla (French edition)

Carmilla de Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu est une -uvre gothique captivante qui a précédé Dracula de Bram Stoker de plus de 25 ans, introduisant l'une des premières figures féminines vampiriques de la littérature. Située dans un château mystérieux au c-ur des forêts isolées de Styrie, l'histoire raconte la rencontre de Laura, une jeune femme qui, fascinée et troublée, se lie d'amitié avec la belle et énigmatique Carmilla. À mesure que leur relation s'intensifie, Laura découvre que Carmilla cache un sombre secret, l'entraînant dans un monde d'angoisse, de désir et de terreur surnaturelle. Ce récit explore des thèmes d'amour interdit, de mortalité et de fascination pour l'inconnu, offrant une atmosphère à la fois envoûtante et inquiétante. Un chef-d'-uvre du romantisme noir qui continue de hanter ses lecteurs.
