you already know i'm a slut for carmilla retellings. and i really liked this one! admittedly it's been a hot second since I read the original and at the beginning of this i was nervous bc it seemed too similar to the original, but it forked away with some real interesting changes! i'm all for taking the tragedy and warning out of classic lesbian stories. also all for lesbians being evil :))

You know what, I really enjoyed this retelling. I read Carmilla for the first time last year and this did not disappoint. It felt very true to the original while making it more explicitly queer and I loved that.
