[“I have been in love with no one, and never shall,” she whispered, “unless it should be with you.”]

apparently supposed to be the original inspiration for Dracula and its successors, carmilla felt like a whirlwind of a sapphic fever dream. super fast paced and super engaging

Sono sempre stata ossessionata da Carmilla, e anche a distanza di anni continuo ad amare la sua storia.

I really enjoyed this book. I found the footnotes to be both informative and at times hilarious. My only complaint is that I wish it was longer! I know this is an old book but it leaves me wanting more. I think if I have it a second re-read I would move this book up to five stars. This is the start of my spooky season
