In a Glass Darkly by J. Sheridan Le Fanu
3.0

eh. the first stories are pretty decent (although the second to last is fairly predictable), Carmilla is really the gem here though. None of them are scary, though Carmilla gave me very weird dreams, all of them are interesting. Carmilla is a bit predictable as well, since if you have ever heard of vampires it is obvious Carmilla is one, but its such an interesting read you don't mind most of the time when Laura, even hearing her symptoms described as having happened to someone else and being the result of a vampire, is delighted to see her friend. I imagine if someone were to adapt this to the screen, big or small, they'd make much of the 'romance' between Laura and Carmilla, though, which would be a shame.
