* 1814 – Sheridan Le Fanu, Irish authoer ( d. 1873 )

Carmilla is a Gothic novella by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu.

The story is presented by Le Fanu as part of the casebook of Dr Hesselius, whose departures from medical orthodoxy rank him as the first occult doctor in literature.

It was based on the story by Sheridan Le Fanu and billed as " The Erotic Horror Classic of Female Vampirism ".

Nuestra Señora de los Vampiros is a black and white one-shot published in 1999 by Spanish comic publisher Dude Comics based on the story by Sheridan Le Fanu, but with a modern twist.
