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.

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

Because of Re: Carmilla, I thought you all would enjoy my edition of Carmilla :

The holes go all the way through, the sides of the book are red, and on some pages the text is colored red just under the holes !

I was so happy when I found it in a little french bookshop specialized in queer texts ❤️

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 🩸

Sheridan Le Fanu, Carmilla (originally published 1872)

i tried to redraw one of the illustrations from the story

[thegoatsongs]

The Carmilla ending was truly riveting

[magnuspng]

Ms. Carmilla, they could never make me hate you

[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)

Carmilla annotations that hit the nail on the head.

Not a single man ever talks to Laura. After the Doctor, the General tells his story to her father; Laura is but a spectator, listening to the two men. When the General does speak to her, it's only to give her an order: "Begone! May you never behold Carmilla more." The Baron and the men share plans privately, leaving Laura out of the loop and withholding explanations from her. The Baron later gifts vampire books to Laura's father and narrates Mircalla's tale, with no interest in Laura's input. Fathers, Doctors, Generals, Barons, all infantilize her. For her, without her.
