A spooky little story that was entertaining enough for a chilly night. But I don't think it's something that will stick with me or that I'll be returning to.

RATING: 2.5

I read Le Fanu's CARMILLA last year and thought it was pretty great, so I downloaded a collection of stories for some fun, fast October spookiness.

This one is fine. The "twist" isn't all that compelling, but there is some nice imagery mixed in there.
