About this listen

FINALIST: The Audie Awards 2016

Audible Originals brings you a brand new audiobook adaptation of J. Sheridan Le Fanu’s classic gothic novella, Carmilla - starring Rose Leslie (Game of Thrones and Downton Abbey), David Tennant (Doctor Who and Broadchurch) and Phoebe Fox (Life in Squares and The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death).

One of the very first vampire thrillers, this audio adaptation follows 18-year-old Laura as she recounts the story of her mysterious, intriguing and beautiful house guest Carmilla, who is stranded in the forest after a carriage accident and taken in by Laura’s widowed father. The girls develop a friendship which turns into a passionate meeting of souls. A relationship of vampire and prey, the story is told through Laura’s eyes as she is drawn further into Carmilla’s terrifying world of pleasure and pain.

A masterpiece of erotic Gothic horror, Carmilla encompasses mystery, suspense, forbidden lust, violence...and lots of blood....

Carmilla has been dramatised by Robin Brooks, an actor, dramatist and author who has been working as a playwright for over 25 years. Carmilla was directed by Fiona McAlpine of Allegra Productions for Audible Originals.

    Makes me wish I was a lesbian

    Never been big on classics, but this dramatization awakened the red velvet muffin-hungry dyke inside me. And I'm a gay man.

    extended my walk by a few kilometres to finish this

    this is as gothic as gothic fiction gets. a mysterious mother having troubling relationship with daughter, an uncle character who knows more than we do, a young woman who is confused but driven, and homoeroticism which goes unacknowledged by one party.

    Fine presentation

    Very nice performance. The characters were pretty alive. Beautiful presentation of one of the earliest vampire story.

    Carmilla just one chance please

    The performance was amazing, beautifully done. It felt like I was listening to a proper movie. Plot wise there isn’t much to speak of, but I did enjoy listening to Laura’s experience and conflicting feelings towards Carmilla. I wish there was more to the story but the actors did a wonderful job of keeping me hooked.

    Nothing original

    There is nothing original in the story. If you have read and seen one canopies story you have read or heard this one too. The plot is predictable and it does become somewhat tedious.
    The narration however was superb. The dramatisation made it bearable. The cast made it worth the time. The only saving grace is that the book is short.
