Carmilla - Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu


«La historia es protagonizada por una joven que vive con su padre y unos pocos sirvientes en un castillo antiguo que esta localizado en la parte más apartada de Styria. La vida para Laura es muy solitaria y simple, excepto por un recuerdo de su infancia donde ella dormida en los brazos de una joven es despertada por el dolor de sentir dos agujas en su cuello y cuando la encuentran no ven a nadie más que a Laura. La vida sigue normal hasta que un carruaje tiene un gran accidente frente su humilde casa, dicho carruaje era el transporte de una elegante dama y joven hija, la cual queda desmayada y no puede concluir su viaje. Al ver la extraña situación el padre de Laura se compromete a cuidar de la joven hasta que se recupere.»

 Carmilla es una novela corta que como dice la sinopsis cuenta la historia de una misteriosa joven que llega al castillo de Laura y su padre. Carmilla tenía comportamientos muy raros y algunos rayaban en el acoso, pero Laura al ser una chica muy solitaria sin ninguna otra amiga, pasaba por alto sus excentricidades. Hasta que poco a poco se dan cuenta que Carmilla es un vampiro! 

Ya sabía la existencia y algunos detalles de Carmilla antes de leer este libro, es de esos que me encantan! vampiros por claro está, aristocracia, castillos, cementerios y elementos góticos en abundancia. Es una novela corta muy buena. 
Si les interesa algún libro de la sección "He leido..." recuerden que basta con dejar un comentario en la entrada del libro en cuestión con su correo electrónico y si tengo el libro en formato digital se los mando sin ningún problema!

A chilling tale of the un-dead, Carmilla is a beautifully written example of the gothic genre. The story takes the reader into the dark, mysterious world of a girl and her family tormented by visitations and nightmares. While the continual reoccurrence of a beautiful woman, unknown, yet familiar, meanders through the lives of the characters, to the very heart of the story, the precise use of language emphasises and heightens the images that the book presents and sends the reader spiralling towards its  conclusion. Said to be the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s gothic masterpiece ‘Dracula’, Carmilla stands out as a classic horror masterpiece. (From amazon.com)


Carmilla is a short novel about a misterious girl that arrives at Laura's and her father's castle. She have a strange behavior, it was like she was actually in love with Laura but Laura didn't mind because she had no other friends and was very lonely. Then they realize Carmilla is a vampire! I knew about Carmilla's tale but never read it until a couple of months ago. And i tell you is one of those books i love! its about vampires of course, castles, graveyars and so many more gothic elements. Its an excelent short novel.

  5. I believe what you posted was actually very reasonable.
    However, what about this? suppose you were to create a awesome title?

    I mean, I don't wish to tell you how to run your blog, however suppose you added a title that grabbed a person's attention?
    I mean "Carmilla - Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu" is a little boring.
    You ought to glance at Yahoo's home page and note how they create news headlines to get people to open the links. You might add a video or a picture or two to get readers interested about what you've got to say.
    In my opinion, it might bring your blog a little bit more interesting.
