Den eneste grund til at Carmilla ikke får 5 stjerne er fordi jeg vitterligt ikke er klog nok til at forstå 1/3 af ordene i den. Meget bedre end Dracula efter min mening (fordi den er lesbisk og ikke racistisk).

If you’re in the mood for some very gay, gothic vampire literature I can’t recommend Carmilla enough. Its a good length little novella, only took me a little over an hour. It’s also available for free on Project Gutenberg so…

I had a lot of fun with this book. As someone who has read Dracula, I liked picking out links between the two stories. I also enjoyed the sapphic ‘subtext’, being included in a piece of literature this old. I wouldn’t say the plot is at all groundbreaking for modern readers, but it was a quick and entertaining read that I got through in a single sitting, so I can’t really fault it.
