About this audiobook
Twenty-five years before Dracula, a carriage overturned outside a lonely castle in Styria, and the girl who stepped out of it was called Carmilla.
Laura's father takes her in. Laura cannot stop looking at her. What follows is tenderness, then fever, then something worse…
J. Sheridan Le Fanu published Carmilla in 1872. A Victorian gothic horror built on a woman's desire for a woman, the first great lesbian vampire story in English. It survived a century that would have preferred it be forgotten.
The Tender Vice presents the novella as a full-cast audio drama. Every character is separately cast and performed, with original scoring and sound design throughout. Sapphic, atmospheric, slow-burning. Not a narration. A production.
The archive is open. The fire is lit.
