This review contains spoilers.

Really loved this! Much scarier than any of the other books I've read from the 1800's.

Spoiler

Of course, knowing about vampires going into it makes it no surprise that she is a vampire by the end, but I am sure at the time it was much more unexpected. I think this is very scary too. How Carmilla is manipulating Laura throughout the book and Laura is falling more and more in love with her. The nightmares Laura has, a shadowy cat pacing back and forth by your bed would be horrifying to wake up to!

I don't normally add spoilers to my reviews, but I feel like in this case it doesn't take away from the experience of reading the book. The story is great because of the atmosphere it creates not necessarily the plot.
