Dreamy and extremely gothic. Some of the luster and horror has been lost with modern knowledge and tropes, but fascinatingly compassionate to even its monsters.

Despite the homophobic and sexist intentions of the book, it’s become an iconic lesbian classic, and I hope the author is rolling in his grave. Carmilla bangs, but only if you can look past its original hateful intent

I hated the ending though, the main character didn’t even do anything?? Another character showed up out of nowhere and ended the entire plot. I know he was mentioned in the beginning, but wow that makes for a really bad narrative

Almost any other character would have made a better narrator for this story, but at least this way we got lesbians 🤷🏽

Carmilla is kinda sexy and it employs very creepy Gothic imagery and an engaging read. I have the edition with an introduction from Carmen Maria Machado and I loved that additional insight into the history and impact of this story.
