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.

A classic tale, older than time.

We all know Dracula, his real life niece Bathory ,and their reigns of terror. But what if there was someone else waiting in the dark? Camilla is charming, beautiful and witty but something dark is lingering behind her sparkling eyes. Meet Laura, a lonely young woman who wants nothing more than companionship and follow her tale of terror!

I feel like the serialized format hurts the flow of the story but who cares it’s cool

Can’t believe Bram Stoker read this and went “yea that’s pretty good. lil fruity tho”
