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!

The story itself is one I already know however the audible performance is less exciting! Megan Follows does not do it justice. It doesn’t flow well, unnecessary long pauses, a bit jumbled. I’d stick to reading it yourself.

Good story, poor audio

The narrator's voice was excellent for my taste. Good for long winter evening before bedtime. But the story, sometimes makes no sense. I know its a different century but they cannot make a simple connections between obvious happenings

Great narrator, story is strange
