I for one, quite like this recording. Carmilla truly feels like two persons, the young teenager and her true, lonely self. She quite resents her immortality and doesn't feel safe in the greater world. I think she misses her old estate and want something to hold on to in the eternity of her existence.
What I don't understand is was she planning to turn Laura into a vampire too? Is that what she mean by we'll be together forever in death and other statements like that? The only reason she didn't was because the Laura's father caught the illness and the doctor knew it was a vampire and so was able to protect her? Or was she planning to kill her like she killed the other guy's daughter? Because Carmilla was so clearly lonely and Laura was a descendant of her family so I thought it's possible she was planning to turn her and not kill her. It's also possible that the other guy's daughter mentioned at the beginning of the story who died didn't actually die. She was just buried and carmilla dug her up or she escaped and is currently a vampire? Maybe all of the people thought dead in the village are vampires now? The villagers wouldn't know they would bury them and then the vampires would escape or since the villagers believed in vampires it's possible they took precautions before they buried them to keep them from rising again?
It needs to be said, Elizabeth Klett SLAYED this recording.
I heard a lot about it being about lesbian vampires but I wasn't aware that it was THIS GAY. Very interesting in the context of the time it was written / in the context of what we are lead to believe about the time it was written ... :)
We actually have a profoundly wrong idea about that time. Truth is that sex became more suited for scientific research and public discussion in those days.
@@TheRampantLionTrue while sexuality and (as much as I dislike to use the word) gender roles were very restricted compared to our time, the victorian era was a huge evolutionary step towards modern times.
Well before Dracula (5/26/1897), there was Carmilla (1872)…excellent narration by the way.
It started off so amazing but the last third once the general is introduced really drop the ball

So many questions lol
Thats not to insuate that theres anything wrong with a vampire being gay, it just seems like that the hypersexualization of the vampire mythos that followed in Ann Rices wake is so commonly projected retroactively onto Bram Stokers Dracula, a novel that ignoring modern conventions has no traces of homosexual themes whatsoever. Meanwhile Carmilla which was written even earlier than dracula and despite its subdued language is probably as lesbian as lesbian can get, so often gets thrown into the category of supplemental evidence-Goniloc
Frankly I believe Carmilla is a better story and deserves more recognition than it gets!
Since no one else will ever say it I will! carmilla is a better character, vampire and book than Bram Stoker's Dracula!
eh
Oh really?
@@alucardtheno-lifeking2556 have you read Bram stoker's book? I have, it's painfully slow at points with little to no real need. Also the writing style of it being in journals, diaries, letters and newspapers can become both grating and perplexing as supposed low budget for the everyman new articles are written in poetics and everyone seems to remember every tiny detail with a compulsion to write it even if a normal person would never notice something like that let alone remember every word of a conversation they just heard part of. And the accents, yeesh the accents of the many non main characters can make reading entire sections a chore.
Carmilla suffers none of this, we are introduced to our leads right off the bat, we get hints that something is off, and carmilla herself is a far more interesting character compared to Stoker's dracula. The shortness of the book also allows for more time to actually have an effect and matter.
Look I'm not saying Dracula is bad, far from it, (I'm rereading through it now in fact). And I'd be insane to say stoker didn't change both the vampire and the horror genera with his book, but I am saying that for me, I see carmilla as better than Dracula as both a book and a character. More consistent writing, more consistent characterization, a vampire who truly has a presence in the book and the length makes it feel more enjoyable to go back to and read. At least for me
@@kylepeters8690 nah fam, you wrong
Unpopular opinion: I entirely agree, honestly it's kinda hard to sit through it at times.
I wasn’t expecting it to be so…….erotic. No complaints here 👀
the ending was not what I wanted... but it's the journey that counts, right?
felt that
I, myself, liked the very end.
Yeah it was really good until the general showed up then it became disappointingly mediocre
thx
"Let's scare Jessica to death" brought me here.

Jospeh!!
Awful. Why is an American reading this? Just terrible.
The people wanting to make the audiobook probably just didn't have any Austrians on hand ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@AlexH-fr7mk well they should have waited until they had some! 😂
You are complaining about something given to you for free... how bratttish of you!
@@shellbell1705 Well if you wanted it read by an Australian you should have paid one instead of complain about a free audio recording. Beggars can't be choosers.
It’s not awful ,get your ears checked.Her voice is sweet and she doesn’t stutter or take awkward gulps of air while pausing.Instead of being grateful that you get this for free you’re acting like people own you anything.😒
This book has confirmed for me that Lesbian relationships are inherently predatory and abusive.
This is a fiction book written by a guy who most definitely was never in a lesbian relationship. it's almost as if you extrapolated elements of a story to support your own pre-existing beliefs... Hmmm.
Makes about as much sense as saying Dracula confirms that heterosexual relationships are inherently predatory and abusive. 😂
shit... how did this guy find out that all lesbians are vampires
