Laura and her father live a quiet life in their remote castle in the dense forests of Styria. It is a solitary existence for young Laura, who has no companionship save her governess and the occasional visits from the neighboring gentry. Into this lonely life comes the mysterious house guest, Carmilla, a girl her own age. Slowly, Laura falls under Carmilla's spell. While she is both attracted to and repulsed by Carmilla, she seems unable to find the energy to resist her. A spate of sudden wasting deaths afflicts the peasants in the countryside around the castle, and soon Laura herself falls ill. Will they manage to work out the cause of her illness in time, or will she just be the latest victim of the vampire Carmilla?
