Achei uma obra incrível, estava com receio de lê-la por se tratar de um escrito de 1872, mas foi surpreendente. A maneira como trouxe assuntos tabus pra épocas posteriores, foi uma grata surpresa. Apesar de obviamente, pertinente a época, ter algumas questões problemáticas e preconceituosas, ainda assim, ver o desenrolar de uma relação de duas mulheres, de uma forma tão natural (e bem condizente com a relação predador-vitimas) foi bem narrada. Acompanhar a primeira Vampira mulher, que inspirou Dracula, foi um deleite e a edição da Wish-Clepsidra está impecável, com textos de apoio maravilhosos, recomendo.

Advertised as a book that inspired vampire media for decades to follow and as a reader you can see how. The sapphic undertones, haunting and suspenseful overtones echo throughout the text and contribute to the disturbing atmosphere and characterization of Carmilla and the men surrounding Laura.
