Carmilla
Carmilla, also known as Mircalla and Millarca, is the eponymous antagonist from the gothic novella by Sheridan Le Fanu. A vampire from an old aristocratic family, she appears eternally as a beautiful young woman and preys on vulnerable young women to whom she is sexually attracted. Carmilla uses her beauty and youth to deceive those around her, and as a result they often fail to see her true nature until it’s too late. This is the case when Carmilla comes to prey on the protagonist, Laura, by moving into Laura’s family home after a carriage accident.read more
