Carmilla est un livre important dans la culture vampirique.

La temática de la femme fatale alcanza aquí su máximo exponente, y los ecos de esta magnífica novela gótica la convierten en uno de los principales referentes del terror que se escribe en la actualidad.

The moonlight spills like silver across ancient walls, and somewhere in the velvet darkness, a whisper stirs—a name, half-sighed, half-forgotten. Carmilla. A name as soft as a caress, as chilling as a shadow at the edge of the candle's glow. She does not knock at your door; she drifts through it like a dream. She is beauty wrapped in mystery, desire woven with dread. This is not a story of fangs bared in the night, nor of crude terrors lurking in the crypt. Carmilla is subtler, more intoxicating—a tale that shivers on the border between love and death, fascination and fear.
