Carmilla by J. Sheridan Le Fanu
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
An excellent novella. Predating Dracula, and, while often similar, is also very different in many ways. The main protagonists are all female. The vampire is by no means decrepit, decaying, ghostly or gross in any way.
Spoilers ahead(??)
I confess I was a bit confused by the 'illness' affecting random people in the village (but not the main victims). Were these other victims, just not important ones? Also, what was the 'black creature"? Was that Carmilla? Or was that just some other presence of some sort that followed her around?
