MBybee reviewed Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu
Better than Dracula
3 stars
I'm my opinion, this was a better story than Dracula, and more interesting. It's also not told via awkward letters.

devoured this as an audiobook over less than a week. it's a good book of a comfortable length! yes, it's got its clunky parts (especially that last chapter that feels obligated to provide explanations to stuff that really didn't need too much of an explanation or that could have better been explained throughout), but i feel like that is mostly an issue of different stylistic expectations over a 150 year gap. still though, i enjoyed the book, as evident by the speed i read it, and it's nice to catch up on what is a vital piece of both vampire, gothic and lesbian literature.
