Since Kat Dunn seems to have skimmed rather than studied Carmilla, a few clarifications:
1. Carmilla does not have chestnut hair, it’s a very dark brown, with something of gold in it.
2. Carmilla does not turn into a white cat, she turns into a giant black one.
3. Carmilla’s skin is not ashen, it’s rich and brilliant.
4. Carmilla’s eyes are not blue, they’re large, dark, and lustrous.

The absolute absurdity that Little Miss Lives and Breathes the Austro-Hungarian Empire would leave her ancestral homeland in Styria for Sheffield, of all places. I have to laugh.

Also, Carmilla would never reveal the name of her family. And if she did, it would be anagrammed, not merely “Kernstein” for “Karnstein.”

This is not the Countess Mircalla “Carmilla” Karnstein that Laura wrote an entire firsthand strangers-to-lovers Gothic account about — a situationship rendered with the most romantic and homoerotic descriptions ever to grace the English language. Every single page had my girl waxing poetic about Carmilla’s beauty like it was a form of worship, and she was so real for that!
My other issue is, so far, Kat Dunn’s Carmilla doesn’t exude the languid charm and unintentional hilarity of an old-world aristocrat eloquently insisting, “Oh, please ignore my strange and unusual ways — we Europeans are simply like this. You can trust me; I am of noble birth, after all.” She just screams vampire.
