Wish it was longer and a little more lesbian, although having anything lgbtq back then was a win. (Bonus rating for it being an Irish author and pre-dating dracula)

I am not typically a fan of classics, but I did appreciate this story and it was fun to see some of the origins of the vampire stories I enjoy today.

3.5. I liked it a lot. A solid horror story with plenty of tension that didn't drag on forever, I wish the ending was more "epic" but I understand why it wasn't for the time period.

I liked but it could’ve used a little more spice
