Carmilla, the first vampire, whose story came before Dracula, who tempts unsuspecting women to their death. I've never considered reading the novel (I know, a shame) but with how beautifully this was done, art and writing, I'll have to give it a shot.

I can't put my finger on it, but something about this graphic novel didn't fulfill me which is funny considering it's about vampires. It just didn't feel complete, even if it is going to be a part of a series (which is what the ending led me to believe).
