An Education in Malice
by S.T. Gibson
2.75 this is objectively fine, just nothing special… however i will say there is absolutely no reason that this needed to be a “carmilla retelling” bc it’s not. it’s a story with vampires and lesbians and characters named Carmilla and Laura and that is really the extent of connection to the OG story. my favorite thing about the original Carmilla is the character of Carmilla herself, and the Carmilla in this story is completely different, though I do think she would have given off much more similar vibes to the OG if this was only from Laura’s perspective. other than that, this story is fine but just feels very surface level. every character other than maybe Carmilla and Laura is really flat and behaves exactly how you would expect them to. i also feel that the dynamic between Laura and Carmilla changed so suddenly, and the character growth of DeLafontaine was also really quick and kinda off to me .
