Carmilla influenced Dracula
Added by Media Influence Map · 5 October 2026
The evidence
Stoker's working notes show Carmilla's influence: an early draft opened in Styria, where Le Fanu set his story, a setting kept in the discarded chapter published as Dracula's Guest. Both tell of an aristocratic vampire preying on a young woman who weakens night by night.
