okay first off, kill yourself. and second off, predatory and abusive lesbians are hot and I will literally let them do whatever they want to me.

[blackvelvetcorvid]

remember how I said I was getting really obsessed with carmilla?

Heres my personal takes on the book characters

[mourningmaybells]

gonna start calling stories where the author is blatantly homophobic but accidentally made the gay aspects incredibly appealing and tragic that several people identified with it "the carmilla karnstein effect" because. man. what was that

Sheridan Le Fanu, Carmilla (originally published 1872)

[isablooo]

The prologue to Green Tea specifies that the story took place 64 years ago, making me wonder if that's also the case for the other stories in In a Glass Darkly. If so, Carmilla would be set in 1808... so here are some regency era Carmillas 🩸

i tried to redraw one of the illustrations from the story

[draculathedansemacabre]

Yeah, folks, all of us here at Dracula: The Danse Macabre are going to need you all to listen to this prologue and trailer for @re-dracula's adaptation of Carmilla.

And then join us in absolutely freaking out about it, oh my god!!!!!

[mourningmaybells]

started to notice repeated words in certain horror books. sheridan le fanu likes "languid", bram stoker likes "voluptuous" and uses some bell metaphors, william peter blatty likes "incidentally", and mary shelley likes "wretch" and "wretchedness"

(been a long time since i reopened the first 2, but that's what I remembered)

Based on Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu

“Sometimes after an hour of apathy, my strange and beautiful companion would take my hand and hold it with a fond pressure, renewed again and again; blushing softly, gazing in my face with languid and burning eyes, and breathing so fast that her dress rose and fell with the tumultuous respiration. It was like the ardor of a lover; it embarrassed me; it was hateful and yet over-powering; and with gloating eyes she drew me to her, and her hot lips traveled along my cheek in kisses; and she would whisper, almost in sobs, "You are mine, you shall be mine, you and I are one for ever." Then she had thrown herself back in her chair, with her small hands over her eyes, leaving me trembling.”

“Are we related," I used to ask; "what can you mean by all this? I remind you perhaps of someone whom you love; but you must not, I hate it; I don't know you–I don't know myself when you look so and talk so."

She used to sigh at my vehemence, then turn away and drop my hand.”
