I sometimes put far too much expectations on classic literature. Carmilla is the little story that acted as source and inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Was it amazing? No, not really. Was in interesting? Yes very, but it doesn’t necessarily have that same flare that modern literature have. It’s almost vague in its spookiness and overly naive in its characterization. It just never seemed like enough. I’m glad I read it, but I wouldn’t blame anyone for skipping it.

I have a lot of thoughts about this, but overall I just wish it was a bit longer and more fleshed out 

I listened to the Re: Carmilla adaptation and would highly recommend it as a full-cast, true-to-text adaptation. There were also a lot of familiar voices in the cast that I recognized from various other podcasts. Sasha Sienna narrating as Laura was a nice surprise, along with the brief cameos from Jonathan Sims, David Ault and Graham Rowat

"I don’t know you—I don’t know myself when you look so and talk so.” Said by Laura towards Carmilla.
