Publisher's Summary

This was the very first vampire thriller! Pure innocence becomes the target of age-old evil. Virtuous Laura has grown up in a solitary castle and longs for a close friend. Her wish seems granted with the arrival of a beautiful and mysterious stranger named Carmilla. A friendship develops but the brooding mood and sexual overtones mar Laura's happiness. Will she escape with her life and spirit? Megan Follows' brilliant reading perfectly evokes the dramatic atmosphere of this Gothic Victorian tale. This tale was the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula!

Classic Vampire Tale!

I thought Megan Follows did a great job narrating this classic vampire tale. A quick and easy listen, beautifully written with all the fun, intrigue, and suspense you'd hope for.

One of the better gothic classics

Very easy listen and though it’s a classic the wording is not overly obscure (much better then Frankenstein)!

Good on rainy days

Listen to it during rain or storm. I did so and having that environment made the experience more immersive. Overall would recommend if you're into gothic horror.

Anne of Green Ghoulies!

Megan Follows does a great job narrating this “first-ever” vampire tale. While the story itself is a tad verbose and didn’t know how to end itself…it was very interesting.
