Okay, so obviously my first recommendation is "Carmilla" by J. S. Le Fanu. I mean, it's definitely a classic in the sapphic literature category since it was one of the first pieces of media that showcased lesbian relationships so bluntly. While I do believe a lot of people tend to kind of misinterpret the book by judging the message by modern ideals it is most certainly a must read. Especially given the fact that inspired many other creators later on. My next two recs are actually heavily influenced by the book so that's why I'm mentioning this. My second recommendation is "The moth diaries" by Rachel Klein. The novel also has a movie, however I personally didn't like it since I think it took away the whole charm of it, but there are a lot of people enjoyed it so that's just my subjective opinion. 98% of the book is writing as a diary which I found very interesting because that meant we had a unreliable narrator and that's one of my favorite things ever. We really can get inside our main girl's head. It is worth noting that our protagonist isn't the love interest of the vampire, she actually hates her because the creature of the night had hers eyes on her best friend that she has a crush on. It has a lot of pretty dark topics but there are also a lot of privet all-girls school shenanigans. It's very mysterious too. My third recommendation is a manga called "The beautiful vampire". You could say that it is one of the first yuri mangas out there because it came out in the 70s if I recall correctly. Now, I'm not going to say much about the plot, but I can tell you that it follows the yuri manga trope of "The Crimson Rose and Candy Girl" which was very popular back then. To end this on a positive note, my last recommendation is a comedy anime called "Ms. Vampire Who Lives in My Neighborhood". It has been a good couple of years since I have seen it, but it's pretty wholesome and funny. The animation style is good. The only problem I have with it is that everybody looks like a child, but that's how a lot of animes roll.
