<b>From the back cover of the Design Image TPB:</b> "Joseph Sheridan LeFanu's 1872 novella <i>Carmilla</i> introduced horror literature's most notorious female vampire, the beautiful and dangerous Countess Carmilla Karnstein.
<p>But what if the story didn't end as LeFanu wrote it? What if the wickedly alluring vampire survived and still stalked the dark nights of modern day America?
<p>Kyle Marffin's <i>Carmilla - The Return</i> is a terrifying, erotic tale of the infamous young Countess of Karnstein, centuries old vampire in the body of a bewitchingly beautiful temptress. From the darkened streets of Chicago, to the desolate pine forests of the northern Midwest, to the foothills of ancient Styria, <i>Carmilla - The Return</i> replays the events of LeFanu's original novella, in a tale of dark desires and darker magic."
