Carmilla! love this.

illustrating le fanu.... my pleasure! :)

Carmilla is one of my favourite stories. Nice to meet a fellow devotee. Here's a reminder:

She used to place her pretty arms about my neck, draw me to her, and laying her cheek to mine, murmur with her lips near my ear, "Dearest, your little heart is wounded; think me not cruel because I obey the irresistible law of my strength and weakness; if your dear heart is wounded, my wild heart bleeds with yours. In the rapture of my enormous humiliation I live in your warm life, and you shall die--die, sweetly die--into mine. I cannot help it; as I draw near to you, you, in your turn, will draw near to others, and learn the rapture of that cruelty, which yet is love; so, for a while, seek to know no more of me and mine, but trust me with all your loving spirit."

And when she had spoken such a rhapsody, she would press me more closely in her trembling embrace, and her lips in soft kisses gently glow upon my cheek.

oh thanks so much for this quote from the master of ghostly horror... i loved his "haunted baronet" even more... i wish for a castle such as his. :)

(so deutliche venen...)

this reminds me of a very disturbing cult film that i saw a long time ago. the Begotten. great B&W footage at times but just bizarre. at any rate this is great and i love it.
