Carmilla: the cult classic that inspired: The cult classic that inspired Dracula Hardcover – 15 October 2020

Carmilla.Discovered this absolute gem of a book first published in the year 1871.Beautifully written, every line a delight it tells the story of a female vampire. Short, not one line is superfluous, (only 156 pages) I could not put it down.Not a single self indulgent, wordy or boring sentence by the writer. No excessive or explicit horror just a matter of fact telling of a chilling tale set in a beautiful wooded countryside.It’s as perfect as can be.

The book itself is great. Well-paced and beautifully written, it's a great book for lovers of classic gothic horror and sapphic themes.The only reason I'm pulling a star out is because of the cover. It's really beautiful in the pics, and still is pretty good in person, but it gets dirty and dull pretty easily and is one of those removable covers that isn't actually attached to the hardcover binding. Some may see it as a good thing.... I don't.

Pros1. Nice cover and hardcover2. Paper quality is good3. Font is perfectCons1. The binding is very poor. It is glued so it gives a paperback feel rather than a hardcover feel. The pages will tear after two or three reading.

I wasn't expecting the book to have a hot red gloss cover. I thought it was plain red by the image on amazon. I loved the delivery and the book is in excellent condition! Being the classic that inspired Dracula, I was intrigued and the first initial pages I read were so captivating! Amazon + Cloudtail India are the best and you can trust them all along! ❤ Go for it!

Received the book today... Haven't read it yet but the packaging was bad. There's a tear between pages... I guess at least a single layer of bubble wrap would not have hurt the book. The book itself was in good quality and the print is also great.
