4.0

A pre-Stoker vampire novel with lesbian undertones that manages to be both very mannered and unsettling.

Sooooo, Carmilla ?
Well, I guess I am a little disappointed. It was an interesting reading, on a cultural aspect obviously as it is a classic that inspired the famous Dracula from Bram S.
Did it lived to the hype ? Maybe not for me.
I enjoyed, the description of a seductive female vampire.
How it depicted women’s sexuality, the obsession and love through passionate whispers.
For those hoping that it is a real Sapphic romance, it is implied yes, through Carmilla attitude, ways of approaching women indeed. On the other hand, I do believe that the girls approached by her were mostly lonely, desiring to share platonic love. I’m not sure.
I’ll give it a 3/5
