Inspired by a glimpse of affection in Carmilla, Jewelle Gomez's "Caramelle 1864" is a story about survival and love between two girls on the Underground Railroad.
Autorenporträt
Joseph Sheridan La Fanu (1814-1873) was born Dublin, Ireland. The son of a Protestant clergyman, Sheridan La Fanu trained and qualified as a lawyer but instead pursued a career as a journalist and fiction writer. His gothic tales-mysteries, horror, ghost stories-are important contributions to the developments of the genres in the Victorian era. In the novella Carmilla, which he published in the years just prior to his death, Sheridan La Fanu was the author of fourteen published novels, the best known of which are Uncle Silas (1864) and The House by the Churchyard (1863). Jewelle Gomez, (Cabo Verdean/Wampanoag/Ioway; she/her), is a novelist, poet, essayist, playwright, and lesbian/feminist activist. Her ten books include five collections of poetry and the first Black Lesbian vampire novel, The Gilda Stories. In print for more than 30 years, the novel was recently optioned by Cheryl Dunye ("Lovecraft Country" "Watermelon Woman") for a TV mini-series. Her latest collection of poetry, Still Water, is from BLF Press. Her work has appeared in numerous anthologies, including Red Indian Road West, Dark Matter: A Century of Speculative Fiction from the African Diaspora, Oxford Treasury of Love Stories, Luminescent Threads: Connections to Octavia Butler, and Stories for Chip: A Tribute to Samuel R. Delany. Gomez was playwright in residence (2011-2023) at New Conservatory Theatre Center (San Francisco) which commissioned and produced her last three plays, which premiered in New York City produced by TOSOS at The Flea Theatre. She was the recipient of an NEA Fellowship, two California Arts Council Artist's Residency and recently a Bram Stoker Legacy Award from Horror Writers of America.
