How can you get better than a gothic lesbian vampire novella? Carmilla is an icon. Not quite a five because I thought the very end was a little confusing

and Carmilla should have lived

. If you’ve seen the webseries from a few years back you’ll be surprised to find so many familiar names.

This novella has everything that you could ever want from a 19th century vampire story: an ancient manor house, villagers plagued by mysterious illness, a magnetic vampire woman, beautiful European forest, a thinly veiled description of orgasm, a masquerade ball, a ruined chapel, and more.

If you're looking for a quick, one-sitting horror classic... Well, look no further than Carmilla! Bram Stoker himself was so enchanted by this story that he borrowed many themes from it for his own work, culminating in the unforgettable Dracula.
