Originator of the modern psychological suspense-thriller? Author of Uncle Silas? Oh - but maybe you've heard of Carmilla? Shout for the mad irish genius.

Now I remember that line about hearing her faint step on the stairs or something, in a rather haunting way. Easier to appreciate now that I'm older. -

Mon, November 27, 2006 - 12:27 PMI only came across her later. We did not get to do vampires at school, let alone girly vampires who liked girlies. The closest we got to gothic was H G Wells, in the Time Machine, with his photophobic and cannabalistic Morlocks. Still, kept me happy, proto gothling that I was.
