A review by alexbthelibrarian
Carmilla by J. Sheridan Le Fanu

4.0

I received an eARC of this title through NetGalley in return for an honest review.

I do not feel like there is a lot to say about this book content wise. This book has been around for many years. It is the inspiration for Dracula by Brom Stoker. I think what this book gives that Dracula does not is a more intriguing look into Vampirism lore. I greatly enjoyed the story, more so than Dracula. I feel this story has been overshadowed by Dracula for far too long. It discusses Vampirism and sexuality in an intriguing way. I find the story to be long enough to keep your attention but short enough to not drag the story on unnecessarily.

From what I can tell of this edition wise, seeing as I was sent this as an eARC, it looks like a nice edition to a shelf. The text is pretty and easy to read which I find is hard to do.
