Carmilla by J. Sheridan Le FanuMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Such a classic, old school, vampire novel.
The unsuspecting hosts, the beautiful and mysterious guest. The girl who begins to grow wearier day by day. The strange behaviours of the beloved guest.
It just builds the suspense so brilliantly, and part of the fun is in seeing how these rational people deal with the irrational.
This one was interesting because the vampire is a girl very similar to her victim, and there is the element of friendship (and courtship?) that makes things so much more sinister. Every time Carmilla got handsy it gave me chills.
A great little horror story for Halloween!
