"Carmilla" is such a beautifully written Gothic masterpiece that left me spellbound. The sapphic undertones, haunting atmosphere, and supernatural elements all came together to create a mesmerizing and captivating reading experience. The silly dialogues peppered throughout the novel had me chuckling at times, which added a fun and unexpected element to the overall reading experience. I highly recommend this novel to anyone looking for a dark and eerie tale that will leave a lasting impression. Five stars all around.

gothic vampire lesbians can’t do wrong in my eyes, expect they CAN, because this was boring and predictable as fuck.
i liked the romantic speeches Carmilla gave, but otherwise, this didn’t impress me.

Read Carmilla through a clean digital version with no footnotes, and then afterwards Machado's introduction only - none of the essays or her critical contributions.

I was disappointed in this book. The first person narration of a story that took place years ago led to a tone that didn't match the story being told. It didn't have an eerie or dreadful cast over the story and instead felt too academic and detached. The characters were all really shallow and the resolution of the conflict was entirely distinct from the protagonist and led to no revelation or resolution. This is interesting as a historical document and nothing more to me.
