Definitely a better love story than Twilight.

Incredible, especially for its time. Although I would’ve preferred a different ending and found the actual one really abrupt.

I really wish the author had explored more of Laura & Carmilla’s relationship. I understand that this is probably the most you can expect from a novel written in 1872.

I’m planning on reading both Carmen Maria Machado’s annoted version & the re-imagined graphic novel coming out February 28th 2023.

Still rating it high for the beautiful prose, sapphic romance, incredible gothic setting & its influence on pop culture.

Please check trigger warnings if you plan on reading it!!

Very intriguing to read, could have been written without the racist comment tho... 

Anyway, if you want to read a lesbian vampire classic, go read this book!
