Carmilla

Wrote a review for

A good short gothic horror story for October. The story centers on a young woman who is having to deal with a female vampire. As with all vampire stories there is sexuality in their encounter. This leads to topics of the loss of innocence, love and lust, and female sexuality. The sexuality is more blatant than in Dracula. (Be warned if you don't want to avoid this topic.)

Overall, it is a nice read.

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Wrote a review for

An excellent story that deals with temptation and the duality of human nature (good and evil). Some things should not be studied. The curiosity of a person's identity, lead to the separation of that identity. What was once a blend became two entities, one good and one evil. When evil is indulged, that side of our identity grows stronger and can overshadow the good. Evil cannot be controlled. It can be suppressed.
