“For what do you hunger”, indeed! Feminine rage and sublimely gothic. I read Carmilla in a gothic literature class and DEVOURED it, much like I devoured this. This is a story about appetites and how, as women, we’re expected to curb our hunger for all things in life. Sure, this is told in the historical setting, but what Lenore experiences is relatable to modern women. As is her character’s overall arc. You will submit with her, and you will unravel with her, and it is pure delight. 

Favorite line: “What is a monster but a creature with agency?”
