Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu: Carmilla (2000)

Να πω την αλήθεια δεν έχω διαβάσει ολόκληρο το βιβλίο για να έχω μια άποψη για την ιστορία αλλά μπορεί λόγω της ηλικίας μου, μπορεί λόγω προσωπικού μου γούστου, αλλά η αναγνωστική εμπειρία ήταν ανυπόφορη. Τόσο κριντζ χρήση λεξιλογίου και εκφράσεων έχω ξαναδιαβάσει μόνο σε ειρωνικά χιουμοριστικά κείμενα, αλλά εδώ για κάποιον λόγο δεν μου ερχόταν να γελάσω.
