Carmilla

J. Sheridan Le Fanu's classic tale of vampirism and lesbianism, first published in 1871, is presented in a new Postern Press edition that includes Le Fanu's story "Green Tea." Says Max Gersh in his Introduction: "Put this elegant tale against Bram Stoker's better known, and far wordier, vampire fantasy, and by several measures Stoker runs second. In its overt sexuality, Carmilla is more modern than its successor, which buried unchaste thoughts under carpets of Victorian high-mindedness. Lovely Carmilla is neither chaste nor well-behaved."
