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.

    A beautifully dark classic

    This is an exceedingly short but affecting novel following the recollection of a young woman Laura and her brief companion Carmilla. This will not take much of your time and it is certainly worth it. if you like books such as Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde I think that this will appeal to you.

    A wonderful retelling!

    Quite a lovely performance of this classic vampire novella. I've read this before, but listening to it in this audiobook form really brought the story to life!

    Very entertaining, well done

    A very entertaining performance. Possibly a warning against judging women solely by their physical appearance (the women in the book seemed to be judged on no other qualities). However, this is obviously due to the age of the book and didn't detract from the fast moving storyline.

    Not the original text

    This is a great adaptation of the book, very atmospheric and wonderfully produced, but for anyone who’s looking to experience the original text, this is not it.
