Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu

Got a hankering for top-notch Gothic horror? Lose yourself in J. Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla, a titillating tale that centers on a lady-loving vampire who terrorizes an unsuspecting family in nineteenth-century Austria. Experts of the genre say that this novel exerted a significant influence on Bram Stoker when he was preparing to write Dracula.

Carmilla

I live in you; and you would die for me, I love you so.

You will think me cruel, very selfish, but love is always selfish; the more ardent the more selfish.

Holly

"I have been in love with no one, and never shall, unless it should be with you."

"Darling, darling. I live in you; and you would die for me, I love you so."
