In 1871, irish author Sheridan LeFanu began publishing a Dr. Hesselius' retelling of a certain Laura's experiences with the vampire Mircalla Karnstein (whom she knew by the name of Carmilla).
But now my attention turns towards another nested narrative: General Spielsdorf's. His niece, Bertha, had recently died, a victim of the "hellish arts" of the vampire.
It is her story with Mircalla (whom she knew as Millarca) that I'd like to explore and give proper attention to, dig up from underneath the weight of three prejudiced 19th century men.
a short (2.7k words) visual novel for the queer vampire jam (january 2024). there are choices but the story is linear, with a single ending.
french translation graciously provided by Constance Germann.
content warnings for some blood, suggestive content and mild nudity.
