A classic that started the lesbian vampire trope, which is a personal favorite. Glad I finally took the plunge to read the original work that’s to my Queer Book Club.

Maybe the real vampires were the lesbians we met along the way <3

In all fairness this was written at the beginning of time, so the flouncy, purple prose, and 10k words to say something that can be expressed in 3 was par for the course back then (gross but ok!) However, reading this today, in modern times, is an absolute slog! I trucked on, given my obsession with all things vampires. I can't possibly be this smitten with them and not have read the queen of all vampires' origin story, now could I?!
