Carmilla is an 1872 Gothic novella by Irish author Sheridan Le Fanu and one of the early works of vampire fiction, predating Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897) by 26 years. First published as a serial in The Dark Blue (1871–72), the story is narrated by a young woman preyed upon by a female vampire named Carmilla, later revealed to be Mircalla, Countess Karnstein (Carmilla is an anagram of Mircalla). The character is a prototypical example of the lesbian vampire, expressing romantic desires toward the protagonist. The novella notably never acknowledges homosexuality as an antagonistic trait, leaving it subtle and morally ambiguous. The story is often anthologised, and has been adapted many times in film and other media.

¿Pero por qué he tardado tanto tiempo en leerme esto?

5 Sterne

Me ha gustado muchísimo, muchísimo y muchísimo. Pero mucho de mucho. Un montón.

Aunque el libro es cortico y con pequeños detalles te enseña todo su mundo y te enganchas desde el minuto uno. No hay algo muy loco o agresivo, creo que está contado muy bien y sin detenerse demasiado en algo desagradable. he sentido que deja poner de tu parte y rellenar "los huecos".

Me ha gustado mucho el vampiro que presenta, un poco lejos de la imagen más normalizada y como te lo va mostrando a lo largo de la historia, sin prisa.

El final, en mi corazón, ha ido por otro lado, eso también lo digo.

Short, not gay enough, but thrilling when it was

4 Sterne

Though it could and deserved to be much, much gayer; it was very enjoyable. Besides the out of nowhere classist and racist remarks very obviously shoehorned in by the author that didn't even affect the story and we're completely unnecessary, it presented the kind of queer relationship you develop as a child, innocent but passionate and desperate almost. And that definitely made my heart race like the good old days.
