26 años antes de Drácula estaba Carmilla. Sería ingenuo pensar que todo empieza con Drácula. Hay un puñado de relatos que fueron escritos antes y hacen parte de la tradición. De todos ellos, Carmilla es quizá el más importante por la originalidad de su abordaje, el compendio de rasgos y caracterizaciones vampiriles que contiene, la fuerza de su figura principal y la influencia directa de dicho texto en el clásico de Stoker. Si Drácula es el rey, Carmilla es la reina de esa dinastía que al sol de hoy –o a la luna llena, mejor– desemboca tanto en Anne Rice como en los vampiros estudiantiles de la saga Crepúsculo.

Excerpts
added anonymously.
Sometimes after an hour of apathy, my strange and beautiful companion would take my hand and hold it with a fond pressure, renewed again and again; blushing softly, gazing in my face with languid and burning eyes, and breathing so fast that her dress rose and fell with the tumultuous respiration. It was like the ardor of a lover; it embarrassed me; it was hateful and yet over-powering; and with gloating eyes she drew me to her, and her hot lips traveled along my cheek in kisses; and she would whisper, almost in sobs, “You are mine, you shall be mine, you and I are one for ever.” Then she had thrown herself back in her chair, with her small hands over her eyes, leaving me trembling.

En ciertas ocasiones, después de una hora de apatía, mi extraña y bella compañera me tomaba la mano, reteniéndola en la suya con un apretón amoroso, que repetía una y otra vez, mientras se ruborizaba levemente y me miraba con sus lánguidos y encendidos ojos, emitiendo gemidos con tanta rapidez que su vestido subía y bajaba al ritmo de su tumultuosa respiración. Fue como el ardor de un amante. Me avergonzaba. Era odioso, y sin embargo se apoderaba de mí. Con una expresión de regodeo, me atraía hacia ella y sentí sus cálidos labios corriendo por mis mejillas mientras ella susurraba, casi en sollozos:
—Tú eres mía, serás mía, tú y yo somos una para siempre.
—Tú eres mía, serás mía, tú y yo somos una para siempre.
