broccoli_mmm's review against another edition
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
there were some lines that just … agh excellent, like:
“I live in you; and you would die for me, I love you so.”
It’s visceral and emotive and really clever foreshadowing. I just left wishing there was more time spent on Carmilla and Laura themselves. The ending chapters felt a bit anticlimactic. Also read critically, of course, because there’s definitely a bit of “girl is in love w girl BECAUSE she’s a monster”
BUT its worth reading. Some of the descriptions are genuinely unsettling, not because of anything graphic or gory, just from the sense of being violated. Also excellent foreshaddowing.

The story itself is not bad at all: the mysterious guest that gets invited to stay at the Schloss and her secrecy, the "pandemic" that follows Carmilla's arrival, the nighttime apparitions in the protagonist's bedroom and her consequential sickness climix into the inevitable revelation of the truth.
