Carmilla is a double-whammy: an English-language vampire novel that predates Dracula by nearly three decades, and an edit from Carmen Maria Machado that both underlines the story's gay subtext and has a bit of fun with readers while doing it.

Actually...it's just us. As usual. But we are talking about a surprisingly faithful novelization of Con Air, one that really reinforces how much the motley crew of character actors elevated the 1997 film.
