Carmilla by J. Sheridan Le Fanu

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This was a fun read. It's so interesting to see how much of vampire lore is a recent addition (like vampires not being able to be in the sun). In this text, Carmilla is not bothered by the sun. The explanation for her becoming a vampire is also one that I hadn't heard before (that suicides sometimes become vampires after death and then become spirits that turn other dead into vampires).

I really appreciated how femslashy this is. It is not even subtextual. It is pretty much textual. LOL

It's also a nice, quick read.

I'm really curious about who the woman masquerading as her mother really is. Is she a vampire, too? Is she a human in Carmilla's employ?

4. I finally got a chance to work on my Harriet Jacob's article, and I feel so relieved. I meant to finish it the week I got sick, and that was totally derailed for what feels like forever. So I have felt like it's hanging over me. I worked on it this morning and am almost finished. I have to write a concluding paragraph and expand/tweak two other paragraphs, and then I'm done. I always get so anxious and paralyzed before writing, and then I do it, and it's totally fine. I wish I could hang on to the totally fine instead of getting tripped up by the paralyzed every time. LOL
