It's an age old question that I just thought of. Carmilla was a novel written by Sheridan Le Fanu in 1871-ish, while Dracula had its run in 1897. So, I guess that answers that. Carmilla was indeed first, but in the grand scheme of things, does that make a huge difference? Both of these novels had their own influence and helped usher the vampire into the horror world. Both Stoker and Le Fanu were pioneers in the field of supernatural horror, and I'd rather not compare them, but rather celebrate both! How diplomatic of me, eh?
