Carmilla was first published in the magazine The Dark Blue in late 1871 and early 1872 and then in the author's collection of short stories In a Glass Darkly in the latter year. There were two illustrators for the story, the work of which appeared in the magazine but does not appear in modern printings of the book. The two illustrators, David Henry Friston and Michael Fitzgerald, show some inconsistencies in their depiction of the characters, and as a result some confusion has arisen in relating the pictures to the story's continuous plot.

Seller's Description:
Fine. Fine with very minor evidence of having been read. A later printing of the 1872 original. Softcover. 93 pp. A modern independent printing of the scandalous 19th century Gothic novella. It tells the story of a young woman's susceptibility to the attentions of a female vampire named Carmilla, who predates Bram Stoker's Dracula by 25 years.
This is one of the first vampire stories. Its told in first person and the lead is whiney. Also forget what you migth have heard. This tale isn't dirty. Yes, the women kiss each other, but it comes across as a friendship thing rather than romantic.
