It’s Halloween month and I recently went to see the play Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors, a spoof of Bram Stoker’s Dracula that was first published in 1897. The production was very entertaining and extremely funny. They even had Bram Stoker’s book on sale. But was anyone aware that there was a vampire story published by another Irish author in 1872? I wasn’t, until I found this title while browsing in the Posman Books store in Chelsea Market. Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu was published more than 25 years before Stoker’s novel.
