A review by calimie
Carmilla by J. Sheridan Le Fanu

dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

A classic Gothic horror with all its best elements: an isolated castle, an endangered young woman, an incomprehensible horror. The mystery of Carmilla is by far the best part of the book: how alluring she is and how atracted to Laura she becomes, and Laura to her. 
Quite short, I recommend it to anyone interested in classic horror.
