Carmilla

Carmilla, published in 1872, stands as one of the earliest vampire novels, notable for its evocative depiction of a strong lesbian relationship. Set against the backdrop of Styria's enchanted forests, the Gothic novella immerses listeners in a world rife with superstition and the dark allure of vampires. This edition, narrated by Tony Walker—who also contributes an introduction and notes—offers insight into the story's influence on later works, including Bram Stoker's Dracula.
