"What is a monster but a creature of agency?"
I was lucky enough to read this absolute masterpiece as an ARC from @netgalley @bonnierbooks_uk and I can say with absolute confidence that this is going to be HUGE. Already know its going to be a contender for my top books of the year, and it's going to occupy my thoughts for a while.
Kat Dunn has taken Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla and reworked it into a gorgeous sapphic tale of yearning, compulsion and, of course, hunger. Lenore's life centres around her husband's ambitions and needs until Carmilla crashes into her crumbling new home in the Peak District, unravelling all Lenore thought she knew about her life and role in the world.
This book delivered everything I wanted- sickening unease, heady romance, a classic Gothic setting and stunning prose. 5/5 stars I want to inject this book into my soul x
