Carmilla

Finally! I finished reading "In a Glass Darkly" by Sheridan Le Fanu, after leaving it lying on my desk without having read the last chapter for about 1 1/2 month. The last one in this book is called "Carmilla" and it's a vampire story. 
I do like horror stories from the 19th century, but I don't like vampires and I didn't like that story. (There's actually only one good chapter in this book and that's the first one:"Green Tea", about a demonic monkey).
Anyway...so "Carmilla" wasn't my thing, still there was one sentence that I loved:

"At the same time a light unexpectedly sprang up, and I saw Carmilla, standing, near the foot of my bed, in her white nightdress, bathed, from her chin to her feet, in one great stain of blood."

I had to draw this...at least I tried to get that image out of my head, though it didn't quite come out the way I intended (maybe I'll try again).

 

Carmilla a.k.a. Marilyn Manson, hahaha...
