Oh I'm SICK. I wasn't expecting to like Carmilla and Laura as much as I did. It's only a shame that this story was written hundreds of years ago and by a man, it could've been even better and done more justice if it was written in our time, and by a woman. Vampires will never beat those homosexual/bisexual allegations.

“You will think me cruel, very selfish, but love is always selfish; the more ardent the more selfish. How jealous I am you cannot know. You must come with me, loving me, to death; or else hate me and still come with me, hating me through death and after. There is no such word as indifference in my apathetic nature.”
> sickening btw
