As it came closer Dick felt that shuddering faintness, which often affected him in the presence of cats, come over him, and he stamped and clapped his hands. At this it turned tail quickly: a sort of dark shadow streaked the garden-wall for a moment, and it vanished.A mother cat takes revenge for the death of its kitten, a ferocious feline creeps into a princess’s bedchamber at night to drain her blood, a young woman grows whiskers beneath the light of a full moon and frolics on the lawn…Aloof and haughty, slinking and sometimes sinister, cats are a mainstay of weird fiction for good reason: for all that we love them, they’re unknowable, unpredictable and a little uncanny. And so, cats loom large in this collection that ranges from the sinister stories of Victorian greats such as Edgar Allan Poe, Bram Stoker and Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu through to twentieth-century tales from renowned authors Dorothy L Sayers, E F Benson and Gans T Field.

This Gothic novella tells the story of a young woman''s susceptibility to the attentions of a female vampire named Carmilla. ''Carmilla'' predates Bram Stoker''s ''Dracula'' by 25 years, and has been adapted many times for cinema. Although ''Carmilla'' is a lesser known and far shorter Gothic vampire story than the generally-considered master work of that genre, ''Dracula,'' the latter is heavily influenced by Sheridan Le Fanu''s short story.
