The Penguin Book of Vampire Stories by Alan Ryan
dark
3.5
bella where the hell ya been loca!! i'm a basic bitch so the highlight of this was def carmilla for me. the stories were hit or miss but i find it beautiful and fitting that most times there was a hit (shambleau by c.l. moore, pages from a young girl's journal by robert aickman, love starved by charles l. grant) it was written by or about women and usually very gay <33
quotes bb:
"the humdrum, everyday life of the generality of men is repulsive to you; you have tasted the joys and pleasures of life, at least what are so called, and you have found them tame and hollow. how soon one tires of the things one sees all around! life consists in change."
-"'you are afraid to die?' 'yes, everyone is.' 'but to die as lovers may--to die together, so that they may live together."
-"and yet it is not that i feel myself wanting in either energy or passion. it is merely that i lack for anything or anyone worthy of such feelings, and refuse to spend them upon what is unworthy."
-"one kiss. that's all. one kiss. i'm hungry."
