Returning to Styria

In my recent fit of subscribing to classic literature via newsletter, I also subscribed to Carmilla Weekly, which sent me one chapter a week of J. Sheridan Le Fanu’s classic vampire novella Carmilla. These are again very short chapters, as there are 16 of them and the book is only novella-length (what with being a novella and all). Sixteen weeks is way more time than is needed to read a book this short, but whatever, it was fun to get a little dose of Carmilla in my inbox every weekend for four months.
The book continues to be a) an excellent work of horror, effectively building an atmosphere of isolated, mysterious creeping dread, and b) super gay. Highly recommend.
