In a Glass Darkly by J. Sheridan Le Fanu

The star of this collection is definitely Carmilla. Predating Bram Stoker's Dracula by about 30 years, this was a chilling story about a lesbian vampire. Who didn't sparkle or fall in love. It's not as well developed as Dracula, but it's also much shorter so that makes sense.
I liked the first story, about a demonic monkey/hallucination partly caused by drinking too much green tea. 😂 The next two stories were too similar to this one.
The fourth story was good, but it needed to either be shorter or longer with more character development. It didn't really get good until the end but then had a great payoff.
