I really enjoyed it. I think some have argued that it takes an unkind stance towards women with the way women characters are treated, but I found the opposite since every time the women warned characters about something terrible going to happen, the men ignored it, and that choice bit them in the butt. Listen to women! I also found the horror really funny with how dated it was

I really enjoyed it— I read it with my Victorian literature class so we talked a lot about the time period and such

I don’t know how I feel about the idea of it being a progressive take on feminine sexuality (empowerment - through being sexually aggressive? the vampire women compared to Victorian women)
