calimie 's review for:

Carmilla by J. Sheridan Le Fanu
4.0
dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A classic Gothic horror with all its best elements: an isolated castle, an endangered young woman, an incomprehensible horror. The mystery of Carmilla is by far the best part of the book: how alluring she is and how atracted to Laura she becomes, and Laura to her. 
Quite short, I recommend it to anyone interested in classic horror.
