Summary

Carmilla, published in 1872, was one of the first vampire novels and is certainly among the most sensuous with its strong lesbian overtones. It is a classic Gothic novella set deep in the enchanted forests of Styria, a land still haunted by superstition and of course vampires. Carmilla predates fellow Irishman Bram Stoker's Dracula by 25 years, and listening to both, you will see the influence of Carmilla on Dracula. This edition has notes and an introduction by Tony Walker, who narrates the audiobook version and who is the producer of the Classic Ghost Stories Podcast.
