One of my favorite stories. The narrator is fantastic and the background music adds to the mood. Well done!

I loved this book a lot since I feel while it is a book that is supposed to be a cautionary tale about lesbianism, it's still ironically very tempting and captivating in its prose. The men are set up in ways that are not typical of the 19th century - they do not protect the women but are rather unhelpful and hardly present until later.

Even the "hero" at the end who kills Carmilla only shows up at the end, the men never connect the dots until the very end.

I found that refreshing compared to a lot of books where I have to wince and wade through the obvious misogyny, it's something you won't find in novels of the time. I of course wanted it to be longer, but I feel with it being so short it gave readers a taste of what could have been. So glad this is in the public domain so it can be explored further in other contexts! Truly a classic. 

The vampire tale I didn't know I needed. I adored the vivid, descriptive writing and the pace of reading- it was easy to get through in one sitting and I couldn't put it down. While it's short and the ending a bit anti-climactic, I appreciate how the ideas of it take on a life of their own that can extend far beyond this. 

This wasn't what I was expecting - the recommendations I saw talked about romance and mutual infatuation, but that isn't actually what this book is about. Not a bad book by any means, but not as interesting thematically as I was hoping.

this SHITS on dracula and deserves a film adaptation too!!
