Sheridan Le Fanu (1814-1873) fue un escritor irlandés, especialmente conocido por sus historias de fantasmas. Fue además uno de los pioneros del género de terror en la era victoriana y uno de sus exponentes más importantes. Carmilla fue una de las primeras historias de vampiros escritas en tiempos modernos y precursora de muchas obras de éxito, como es el caso de Drácula de Bram Stoker, quien se basó en muchas características del personaje creado por Sheridan Le Fanu para escribir su obra cumbre.

Fue una de las primeras historias en romantizar el mito del vampiro y convertirlo en un relato cargado de erotismo, con imágenes sugerentes y planteando una relación diferente entre la víctima y el victimario, típica hoy en día de las historias de este género.

Work Description

Excerpts

Upon a paper attached to the Narrative which follows, Doctor Hesselius has written a rather elaborate note, which he accompanies with a reference to his Essay on the strange subject which the MS. illuminates.
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.
added by Araucaima.
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.
