A review by corabookworm
Carmilla by J. Sheridan Le Fanu

dark mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Diverse cast of characters? No

4.0

While this book does have the flaws of any book written in the 1870s (lesbian love story written by a man ew), it's pretty damn good. This fast-paced mystery set the stage for both lesbian and vampire literature, and I highly enjoyed reading it. I recommend Carmilla if you want to try out a short, quick classic, or if you're a fan of Gothic books.
