Achei uma obra incrível, estava com receio de lê-la por se tratar de um escrito de 1872, mas foi surpreendente. A maneira como trouxe assuntos tabus pra épocas posteriores, foi uma grata surpresa. Apesar de obviamente, pertinente a época, ter algumas questões problemáticas e preconceituosas, ainda assim, ver o desenrolar de uma relação de duas mulheres, de uma forma tão natural (e bem condizente com a relação predador-vitimas) foi bem narrada. Acompanhar a primeira Vampira mulher, que inspirou Dracula, foi um deleite e a edição da Wish-Clepsidra está impecável, com textos de apoio maravilhosos, recomendo.

Despite the homophobic and sexist intentions of the book, it’s become an iconic lesbian classic, and I hope the author is rolling in his grave. Carmilla bangs, but only if you can look past its original hateful intent I hated the ending though, the main character didn’t even do anything?? Another character showed up out of nowhere and ended the entire plot. I know he was mentioned in the beginning, but wow that makes for a really bad narrative
