Carmilla ($12) is the vampire novel — it even predates Bram Stoker's Dracula! In this short gothic novella, Laura is isolated in a remote mansion in the middle of a European forest and longs for companionship. Enter Carmilla, a secretive and erratic woman who Laura recognises from a dream she had when she was young. The women are instantly drawn to her, but as Carmilla's actions get more volatile, Laura's health begins to mysteriously decline.
