Hungerstone

vampires 🤝 female rage

A beautifully written gothic with some of my favourite things (vampires, sapphic relationships, beautiful people in old houses in scenic backdrops).

I only wished that Lenore spent more time taunting and wreaking havoc on Henry in the end. But still a satisfyingly violent and well-deserved end.

Loved this retelling of Carmilla and the clear nods to other works like Dracula. Keen to read other stories that inspired Kat Dunn, and come back to this with fresher eyes and a better appreciation of the story.
