Description
Sink your teeth into the cult classic vampire novella that inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Fear sweeps the countryside as people fall victim to a strange illness. After a peculiar accident, beautiful Mircalla becomes a ward at Laura’s family home. Soon, friendship blooms between the mysterious Mircalla and curious Laura. Love is in the air, but so is something deadly. Will Mircalla’s secret cost Laura her life? Carmilla, originally published in 1872, is one of the first vampire novels ever written, predating Dracula by twenty-six years. Carmilla, with its themes of vampirism and homosexuality, shocked the standards and stereotypes for women set in the Victorian era. Today, Carmilla is considered the original archetype of female and LGBTQ vampires, and Le Fanu’s influence is seen throughout vampire fiction.

This really didn't do anything for me unfortunately. The world building was the best part and even that kinda was leaving me wanting more. Cool premise tho and I can see why it inspired Dracula.

Parece ser escrito muy recientemente.
Me sorprendió lo liberal que es el libro para la época.
Es una historia entretenida y envolvente.

Confesso que estava esperando muito mais por ser um clássico, no início a história me deixou bem curiosa e intrigada, mas depois foi ficando sem graça e não vi esse romance sáfico que tanto dizem. Mas é um livro bom para quem gosta de uma leitura rápida e leve.
