I've been wanting to read Camilla for a while but didn't realise until it was said on the You're Dead to Me podcast that you can find PDFs for free online.
Then I checked my audiobook app and Camilla was on it!
I really enjoyed this book and listened to it in one sitting (it's about 3 hours long). It reminded me a bit of The Castle of Otranto but I'm not quite sure why but if you like this then you might like The Castle of Otranto (but be warned that book has a lot of complicated words). I would definitely recommend this; though it's short, quite a lot happens and I think some bits are quite creepy.

Believed to be one of the earliest vampire stories, the fact that it predated Dracula was enough to pique my interest.
A very fast-paced story with gothic elements that I loved, yet it still sounded (or felt) too….monotone? But then again, just knowing that it was first published in the late eighteen hundreds as individual stories in a newspaper makes me want to like it more.
Oh, and the illustrations were pretty.

Carmilla était un livre absolument incroyable, hypnotisant, avec le bénéfice d’une nouvelle traduction limpide de la part de Tendance Négative. Sautez sur l’occasion de découvrir une géniale histoire vampirique écrite un quart de siècle avant Dracula, et des affections entre femmes qui sortent clairement du cadre de l’amitié...

I got an ARC of An Education in Malice by S.T. Gibson and saw that it was a retelling of Carmilla, so I wanted to listen to this first - and also work toward my goal of reading at least 2 classics this year.
Carmilla is nice and short, the audiobook around 2 hours long, easy to follow, and enjoyable. I agree with others that it has Sapphic undertones, which makes it all the more likeable It had a lot of elements I've come to expect from classic horror literature,
