That is until a horse and carriage crashes nearby one night, and she and her father take in a weary, young traveller - Carmilla. As mysterious as she is beguiling, Carmilla weaves her way into Laura's heart. Life proves less lonely with a friend. But sinister things start happening as the girls become closer, and the forest isn't the safe haven it once was.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSheridan Le Fanu's nineteenth-century gothic tale was the first vampire novella.
