A low pick. Inspired by Le Fanu's Carmilla, this graphic novel set in 1990's NYC features mysterious deaths, vampires and Chinese folklore. It was a good quick read for Hallowe'en night.

84/150 Kinda of meh, not the best stories I've seen from Gaiman. These are the kind of stories you enjoy but forget an hour after you've read them. Buckingham's art was nice, but usually confined to small panels. 3 ⭐⭐⭐

I wrote a whole review and it was erased, so let me boil it down. This is kinda interesting. The moment it‘s set in is kinda cool. But I realized as I read it that I couldn‘t stop comparing it to the Carmilla YouTube series. So, somehow YouTube Carmilla has become my benchmark. I‘m also upset by what happened to Morgan, she deserved better.

I was so excited for this Sapphic Carmilla graphic novel retelling. The art did not dissapoint--just stunning--but the characters lacked development and motivation and the story was somewhat confusing. Sad to say this one did not meet my expectations.

There is incredible moody art in this graphic novel retelling of the lesbian vampire classic Carmilla. I loved the noirish tone, the 90s NYC Chinatown setting, the way Chinese folklore is integrated into European vampire lore, and the MC Athena's relationship with her Yeh Yeh (grandpa). It took a weird turn near the end, with two deaths (the only trans character and main Black character) that were unnecessary plot-wise and not explored enough.

Comics creators Amy Chu & Soo Lee set this steamy lesbian vampire tale in 1990s New York City Chinatown. Athena is a queer Chinese American social worker and a serial killer appears to be targeting young women, many of whom were her clients. The police don‘t seem to be doing much, so Athena decides to investigate on her own. Soo Lee‘s colours are especially beautiful, shifting with the moods in the story. #LGBTQ #graphicnovel

Alarm bells! Getting involved with this woman is obviously bad news.
