Carmilla: Book Club Discussion

Book Club Gathering: Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu

Step into the gothic world of mystery, desire, and shadows as we discuss Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu—one of the earliest vampire stories and a haunting classic of 19th-century literature. Long before Dracula, this novella explored themes of intimacy, fear, and the supernatural through the strange bond between a young woman and the enigmatic Carmilla.
Together, we’ll talk about the book’s eerie atmosphere, its groundbreaking place in gothic fiction, and the ways its themes still resonate today. Whether you’re a fan of gothic tales, curious about early vampire lore, or simply love a good haunting read, this discussion promises to be both rich and engaging.

All are welcome—whether you’ve finished the book, are partway through, or just want to listen and join the conversation. Bring your curiosity, your insights, and maybe even a candlelit mood if you’re reading along at home.
We look forward to seeing you there!
