This Gothic novella tells the story of a young woman's susceptibility to the attentions of a female vampire named Carmilla. Carmilla predates Bram Stoker's Dracula by 25 years, and has been adapted many times for cinema. Although Carmilla is a lesser known and far shorter Gothic vampire story than the generally-considered master work of that genre, Dracula, the latter is heavily influenced by Le Fanu's short story.

no wonder it's a classic

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.

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

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.
