Carmilla

"Soo, Carmilla was nice! I like the Gothic atmosphere and sapphic vibes. The story wasn't anything crazy or really all that interesting if I'm being honest but the aesthetics are immense. I think it's an important piece of wlw literature."

"Knowing vaguely the story of Carmilla, I was excited going into this! It really was interesting seeing how gradual it became in that Carmilla was not all that she seemed. Of course, I was won over by the often sapphic undertones and was just interested in both Carmilla and Laura’s relationship while also knowing it would all go wrong by the end. Great book!"

"Classic Vampire tale. I read the version edited by Carmen Maria Machado and it was a real queer treat. Like “Dracula” but short and sweet. "

"Sapphic but not enough"

"This book is AMAZING!! If you love sapphic themes, vampires, and horror, you’re in the right place. It’s basically a slow burn romance that takes a horrible turn for the worst. And it’s spooky. I love it! "

"aside from the racism at the start of the book i love ittttt. 8/10. "

"Frightening."

"absolutely amazing, I just wish it was longer! so, so, so well written and pretty progressive/inclusive (?) for its time. Carmilla is such a girlboss, I love her <3 10/10"

"Must-read for LGBT horror fans and dark romantics alike. "

"Romantic and dramatic. It's a really great read if you're interested in Gothic horror. Be sure to brush up your knowledge of old-style English though."
