Carmilla is a fiction novel. It is written by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. He was an Irish novelist of the 19th century. He was known for writing horror fiction, mystery thrillers, and gothic fiction stories.
The audio narration team of Carmilla includes Phoebe Fox, David Tennant, Rose Leslie, James Wilby, David Horovitch, Hannah Genesius, and Susan Wooldridge. All of them did well, while David Tennant deserves a special mention for his incredible performance.
Carmilla is known as one of the very first vampire thrillers. It is a trend-setting novel after which many vampire thrillers came and they have a very big fan base as well. This audio adaptation of Carmilla follows the story of 18 years old Laura as she recounted the tale of her intriguing, mysterious, and highly attractive guest house. And the name of that guest house was Carmilla who has stranded in the forest post an unfortunate carriage accident. After that, it was taken by their widowed father of Laura.
. The girls in no time developed a friendship that quickly turned into a highly passionate meeting with souls connecting. It was more of a relationship between prey and a vampire. The story of Carmilla is told right through the eyes of Laura just as she got further drawn into the terrifying world of pain and pleasure for which Carmilla was known.
The story is fine and worth a credit. It was somehow predictable as well. The author broke the suspense as early as the third chapter when the truth came out. Carmilla 2016 was also the finalist in The Audie Awards. The book for its quality of writing and narration is recommended.
