Considered the origin of vampire lesbian stories, Carmilla is certainly progressive for its time.
There were a few quotes that absolutely delighted me, especially as the editor/writer's commentary that breaks the 4th wall.
It's short, and so much of it is an exposition dump via flashback. If you've read Dracula, this is essentially the pared down version with a bit more even pacing and some hints of sapphic romance.
