Before Dracula, before Nosferatu, there was...CARMILLA. Inspired by the gothic novel that started the vampire genre and layered with dark Chinese folklore, this queer, feminist murder mystery graphic novel is a tale of identity, obsession and fateful family secrets. At the height of the Lunar New Year in 1990s New York City, an idealistic social worker turns detective when she discovers young, homeless LGBTQ+ women are being murdered and no one, especially the police, seems to care. A series of clues points her to Carmilla's, a mysterious nightclub in the heart of her neighborhood, Chinatown. There she falls for the next likely target, landing her at the center of a real-life horror story—and face-to-face with illusions about herself, her life, and her hidden past. “A sophisticated and modern reimagination of one of the great classics of the horror genre, Chu and Lee have crafted a Vampire story you do not want to miss.”—James Tynion IV (Something Is Killing The Children, The Department of Truth) “Part of the challenge when writing about the Asian-American experience is attempting to define something that feels so amorphous. Chu and Lee ingeniously meld one of Western horror's oldest icons with the touchstones of the East.”—Pornsak Pichetshote (The Good Asian, Infidel) "Amy Chu and Soo Lee have cut a perfect gem of a story from the collective unconscious, with an archetypal monster that’s at once both deeply mysterious and itchingly familiar—like anything that truly haunts us.” —Lilah Sturges (House of Mystery, The Science of Ghosts) "A refreshing take on vampire lore. Athena is the kind of heroine everyone craves; empathetic and grounded, but also flawed. [Carmilla is] subtle in its storytelling, yet evocative in its world-building.”—Ethan Young (Nanjing: The Burning City, Life Between Panels) “Carmilla is an itch in the back of your head, the horror of knowing something’s right behind you, whether it be a creature, a nightmare, or a terrible love. Amy Chu and Soo Lee weave a beautiful tale full of mystery in an unsettling New York. I highly recommend it.”—Chip Zdarsky (Batman, Sex Criminals) "Amy and Soo are the perfect new blood to revive this gothic classic. Dripping with style, this seductive story is sure to leave a mark."—Casey Gilly (Buffy the Last Vampire Slayer, Ravenloft: Orphan of Agony Isle) "In Carmilla, Chu and Lee open the doors to a dangerous and yet seductive world where I wanted to stay in more and more at every page turn, like a moth drawn to the flame."—Fàbio Moon (Daytripper, Casanova)

Years before Bram Stoker published Dracula, another vampire story was written in Ireland. Carmilla, a novella by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, is the original vampire story of modern Europe. It is a first person account from Laura, a young English woman who falls prey to a beautiful female vampire: Carmilla. At first she is scared of the newcomer, who looks like a specter she had seen in a nightmare when she was a child. But these feelings quickly subside and are replaced by a relationship that blossoms with intensity. Though Le Fanu portrays his vampire's sexuality with the circumspection that one would expect for his time, it is evident that lesbian attraction is the main dynamic between Carmilla and the narrator of the story. Compared to other literary vampires of the 19th century, Carmilla is a similar product of a culture with strict sexual mores and tangible religious fear.

Carmilla is narrated by a young woman preyed upon by a female vampire named Carmilla, later revealed to be Mircalla, Countess Karnstein (Carmilla is an anagram of Mircalla). Le Fanu presents the story as part of the casebook of Dr. Hesselius, whose departures from medical orthodoxy rank him as the first occult doctor in literature. The story is often anthologized and has been adapted many times in film and other media. It is a one of the earliest works of vampire fiction, predating Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897) by 26 years. Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu (1814-1873) was an Irish writer of Gothic tales and mystery novels. He was a leading ghost-story writer of the nineteenth century and was central to the development of the genre in the Victorian era. M. R. James described Le Fanu as "absolutely in the first rank as a writer of ghost stories".

The haunting tale of a young woman being seduced by a female vampire, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla still manages to enthrall its readers almost two centuries later. Predating the more uneven Dracula by some 26 years, Carmilla (1871) is the first and perhaps greatest of vampire stories.

Carmilla is a Gothic novella in which a young woman named Laura details her relationship with a vampire in the form of a young woman named Carmilla. The first event that Laura details in the novella is an episode from her childhood: a six-year-old Laura is attempting to sleep when she is visited by a mysterious young lady (later revealed to be the vampire Carmilla, or at least a representation of Carmilla) who bites her on her breast. The narration then jumps forward thirteen years. Laura's father receives a letter from his friend, General Spielsdorf, wherein the General reveals that his ward Bertha has died. The General implies that a monster of some sort has killed Bertha.

Dracula often gets the credit, but what if one of the first vampires was actually a woman?Laura and her father live a quiet life in their remote castle in the forests of Styria. It's a lonely life for Laura, who longs for companionship besides her governess or occasional visitors. Perhaps it is her longing that summons the mysterious house guest, Carmilla.As peasants in the countryside around the castle begin to fall prey to sudden "wasting" deaths, Laura finds herself inexplicably drawn to Carmilla.Will Laura be able to avoid the fate of so many others, or will she succumb to the bite of Carmilla? This edition of Carmilla has been carefully edited to allow for ease of reading, thus some things have been changed to modern English. Care was taken to preserve the tone and voice of the original work and most changes were simple and grammatical in nature.As a fan and writer of the genre, and lover of all things vampire, I hope the story of Carmilla continues to inspire.
