{"product_id":"9780241820230","title":"Carmilla","description":"\u003cp\u003eLaura leads a secluded life in a castle buried deep in the Austrian forest, far away from the dangers of the outside world. That is until a horse and carriage crashes nearby one night, and she and her father take in a weary, young traveller - Carmilla. As mysterious as she is beguiling, Carmilla weaves her way into Laura's heart. Life proves less lonely with a friend. But sinister things start happening as the girls become closer, and the forest isn't the safe haven it once was.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Sheridan Le Fanu's nineteenth-century gothic tale was the first vampire novella. It paved the way for a literary tradition of female and lesbian vampires, and, before \u003ci\u003eDracula\u003c\/i\u003e, explored the boundaries of sex and death. Still as chillingly alluring today as it was when it was written in 1871-2, \u003ci\u003eCarmilla\u003c\/i\u003e now joins Penguin's Little Clothbound Classics series.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55049233170775,"sku":"9780241820230","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/4569\/5575\/files\/1915843482274.jpg?v=1789648760","url":"https:\/\/somiibooks.com\/products\/9780241820230","provider":"Somiibooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
