Status Updates From Carmilla

"The two broad eyes approached my face, and suddenly I felt a stinging pain as if two large needles darted, an inch or two apart, deep into my breast.
I woke with a scream. The room was lighted by the candle that burnt there all through the night, and I saw a female figure standing at the foot of the bed. There was not the slightest stir of respiration; a block of stone could not have been more still."

"I saw that it was a sooty-black animal that resembled a monstrous cat. It appeared to me about four or five feet long--it measured fully the length of the hearth-rug as it passed over it--and continued toing and froing with the lithe, sinister restlessness of a beast in a cage. I could not cry out, although I was terrified. It became so dark that I could no longer see anything of it but its eyes."

tAILYPO!

"But that night, dreams came through stone walls, and lit up dark rooms and darkened light ones... That night, I had a dream that was the beginning of a very strange agony.
I cannot call it a nightmare, for I was quite conscious of being asleep. But I was equally conscious of being in my room and lying in bed, precisely as I actually was."
