This is why I find horror a wasted month. We just don't get books that fit well. I've tried to get something going with books like Rosemary's Baby and Carrie. But they don't win even though they were the possibly scariest books in the list. We get wimpy dull boring nothing at all to do with horror books that win.
Camilla had more lesbian themes running throughout then it did anything at all to do with horror. The characters were unlikable. The stories pacing was slow. The premise was silly.

But that's purely from your viewpoint. I like both
Dracula and
Camilla, and would be happy if either one won (though I've read both several times, so I'd actually rather something new - to me - was chosen).
