Advertised as a book that inspired vampire media for decades to follow and as a reader you can see how. The sapphic undertones, haunting and suspenseful overtones echo throughout the text and contribute to the disturbing atmosphere and characterization of Carmilla and the men surrounding Laura.

Creepy and fascinating! This book is considered the first vampire novel, so it was really interesting to see how elements of vampire lore from this book have persisted for centuries! It’s a quick, mysterious, gothic read, and I cannot recommend the audiobook enough! I want Megan Follows to narrate every book forever.
