Summary

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.

Key cast:

  • Carmilla - Phoebe Fox

    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.

    I love this novella and always have, but hearing it dramatised on audible made me love it even more! It was a joy to listen to and the narrators were incredible!

    Amazing cast.

    Despite the fact that it feels rather short, the cast did an amazing job. The performance is perfect. One of the best I've listened to so far.

    Engrossing

    A wonderful enchanting horror which tells of young innocence being terrifyingly corrupted in a twist on the most commonly know ‘Stoker’ format.

    Surprisingly good

    My first time listening to one of these adaptations. I had assumed it would be pretty bad, like a radio 4 drama but it was very good. All the actors were good and there was no needless sound effects. Really enjoyable
