‘There is a faculty in man that will acknowledge the unseen. He may scout and scare religion from him; but if he does, superstition perches near.’

In JS Le Fanu’s ‘Carmilla’, Laura falls for the mysterious and beautiful Carmilla. It is revealed however that her beauty is misleading, as the elusive lady turns out to be a vampire, feeding on Laura’s blood. Carmilla is found floating in a coffin full of blood.

Loved the thought-provoking paper "Dreams and Feverish Sensations’: Blood, The Psyche, and Swedenborg in J.S. Le Fanu’s ‘Carmilla’" by with Isabella Mazzanti's illustrations. Great analysis!

Carmilla
its kind of hilarious to see how far victorian authors go to expose their EXTREME internalized homophobia, and this novel shows that by making it the focus of the horror. le fanu even went and put out an extremely gratuitous racism scene for no reason. a product of its+

Bluebeard: a French folktale of prohibition: despite being warned not to, Bluebeard’s wife opens a secret chamber only to find it flooded with the blood of his former wives. The myth is reworked into a trope of Gothic literature, from Ann Radcliffe to Le Fanu.

“Girls are caterpillars while they live in the world, to be finally butterflies when the summer comes;but in the meantime there are grubs and larvae, don't you see - each with their peculiar propensities,necessities and structure.”
