Kind and friendly. As mysterious as she was devoted. Where is Styria? When is this story taking place? What is an awl? An escrutcheon? A hippogriff? Why did Carmilla seek out Laura? Also, unanswered questions and intriguing possibilities are charted out, one by one. Sutton.. Over four hundred footnotes give detailed answers to dozens and dozens of questions. Beautiful and fragile. But also hungry. Carmilla. Growing up in the lonely forests and valleys of Styria, Laura had only her father and two governesses for company. For the first time since it was published in 1872, here is a complete guide to Le Fanu's classic vampire tale. Boylan (of "Taliesin Meets the Vampires" fame) and an introduction about Le Fanu himself by horror author/scholar David A. Included is a preface about Carmilla from Andrew M. Until she came
About the Author D. He has long wanted to write a script for Carmilla and who knows but that might yet happen?

Outstanding and Worthy to be among the best!!! Angelfirewithwings Annotated Carmillabyby Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, D. MacDowell Blue, David A. Sutton and Andrew M. BoylanI usually do not compare any of the books I have reviewed with any other books I have read. I think the book is pure genius and admire everyone who was a part of it. Sometimes words cannot describe nor give credit to the magnificent imagination it takes and took to compose a work like Annotated Carmilla. Nowadays the spotlight is usually put on the male species of the vampire while little is contributed to a the beautiful female species of the vampire.

For a modern reader, nineteenth century fiction like Carmilla can be very dense, strange, and hard to get through. The language is seldom used; the pop-culture references are beyond dated; and the author assumes the reader would be familiar with the politics of the day, making a lot of what goes unsaid completely fly over my head (and, I'm guessing, the heads of many modern readers). The Annotated Carmilla goes into detail in illuminating every plot thread,
