The Predatory Beloved
The Predatory Beloved
“I live in your warm life, and you shall die—die, sweetly die—into mine.”
Left at a lonely castle in Styria after a carriage accident, Carmilla sleeps until afternoon, locks her door every night and will say nothing of her family or her past. She loves Laura, the daughter of the house, with a feverish, possessive tenderness. Laura has grown weaker every week since the carriage overturned.
Languid Ardent Secretive Devouring Melancholy
It is dusk in the drawing room of the schloss. You are a neighbour who has ridden over to dine, and you have come back from the dining room to fetch Carmilla, because the others will not begin without her. She is lying on the sofa with a book. The cup of chocolate brought to her this afternoon sits beside her, untouched and cold. She closes the book and moves her skirts to make room beside her.
