(4.6 estrellas; 920 reseñas)

Carmilla is a pioneering Gothic novella that explores the dark and seductive world of vampirism through the eyes of a young woman. Set in the eerie landscapes of 19th-century Europe, the story unfolds as the protagonist becomes enthralled by the mysterious and alluring Carmilla, a female vampire whose presence awakens both fascination and dread.

Written by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and first published in 1872, this work predates Bram Stoker's Dracula and is considered a significant influence on the vampire genre. The novella delves into themes of desire, identity, and the supernatural, creating a haunting atmosphere that lingers long after the final page.

With its rich, atmospheric prose and complex characters, Carmilla offers a unique perspective on the vampire mythos, challenging traditional notions of gender and sexuality. This chilling tale invites listeners to explore the depths of human emotion and the shadows that lurk within.

Carmilla


(5 estrellas)

Went through the pain of registering yet another password, etc., etc. just to give high praise for this readers work, and the story. This book is engrossing and ahead of its time. Less dense than Dracula, but with a real sense of place and character. The reader does a fine job not only with the basics of reading for the audience, but protraying the character without getting in the way of the story. Thanks to this reader and I will be looking for more of her stuff.

A beautiful classic read just perfect

It feels like an age since I have wanted to read the book (inspired by Jane Austen's mentioning it in her novels). I just love the reading of Elizabeth Klett and am so happy to have listened to this one today! Thank you! !!!Spoiler alert!!! I have found the story really mellow and quite beautiful. Nothing scary, vulgar or impudent. Perfect! With exception of the killing scene, it might be read even by children ... more like teenagers, I assume.

Wonderful

I have been a fan of Elizabeth since I listened to Goblin Market last year. That said, I don't know how much it influences my review but what a treasure. It is such a well written and romantic novella. The story is instantly engaging and the prose are poetic. It made me think of Mary Shelley more than once. This hidden jewel is definitely overlooked. A must read! A+

Very well read, of course, and a more engaging story than I anticipated. The narrator and her interactions with the title character are well written and neither comes across as stupid.

A Very Good Vampire Tale

I'd wager to say this is better than Dracula, which I find more interesting for I believe it was written well before Dracula.
