A very quick classic read, perfect for spooky season or really, any time of year you wish a mysterious vampire would haunt your dreams and eventually find you, live with you and cast a spell of confusion and adoration on you. (Which, tbh, for yours truly, is all year long.)

Beautifully written; a good challenge for anyone looking to expand their palette beyond the modern trends. Also, you really can’t beat the comedy of Carmilla’s different aliases just being anagrams of the same name.
