You know what's better than vampires? Lesbian vampires. And I've been wanting to read about the lesbian vampires of Carmilla since I first discovered them when I was a teenager. 

Lesbian vampire continue to be dope af and I very much thought that aspect of the story was great. 

The rest of it is kind of eh? It's certainly not bad in any sense of the word. But there really wasn't much that stood out to me at all apart from how gay it was. It seems more or less pretty rote overall other than that one exception.
