Twenty-five years before Dracula, there was Carmilla.
When a carriage overturns outside a lonely Styrian castle, nineteen-year-old Laura takes in a mysterious survivor. Carmilla is languid, ardent, and awake only after dark. As young women in the village below begin dying of a nameless illness, Laura finds her own nightmares bleeding into reality while she struggles to decide if she is being courted or consumed.
The Tender Vice resurrects J. Sheridan Le Fanu’s 1872 sapphic gothic masterpiece as a lush, full-cast audio drama. Featuring an original score, immersive sound design, and a story that survived a century and a half that would have preferred it forgotten.
