The Wyvern Mystery is a 19th century gothic mystery. The story is about a young orphaned girl named Alice Maybell, her haunted past and the present dark atmosphere that makes a chilling and suspenseful tale. Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu (1814-1873) was an Irish writer of Gothic tales and mystery novels. He was a leading ghost-story writer of the nineteenth century and was central to the development of the genre in the Victorian era. M. R. James described Le Fanu as 'absolutely in the first rank as a writer of ghost stories'.
In an isolated castle deep in the Austrian forest, Laura leads a solitary life with only her ailing father for company. Until one moonlit night, a horse-drawn carriage crashes into view, carrying an unexpected guest – the beautiful Carmilla.
So begins a feverish friendship between Laura and her mysterious, entrancing companion. But as Carmilla becomes increasingly strange and volatile, prone to eerie nocturnal wanderings, Laura finds herself tormented by nightmares and growing weaker by the day.
Pre-dating Dracula by twenty-six years, Carmilla is the original vampire story, steeped in sexual tension and gothic romance.
'Carmilla' ist eine gotische Novelle aus dem Jahr 1872 des irischen Autors Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu und eines der frühen Werke der Vampir-Literatur, das bereits 26 Jahre vor Bram Stokers Dracula (1897) geschrieben wurde. Die Geschichte erzählt von einer jungen Frau in der Steiermark, die einsam in einem abgelegenen Herrenhaus in den Wäldern der Steiermark lebt. Laura sehnt sich nach Abwechslung und Gesellschaft – bis ein Kutschenunfall eines Tages eine andere junge Frau in ihr Leben bringt: die verschwiegene und manchmal unberechenbare Carmilla. Als Carmillas Handlungen immer rätselhafter und unberechenbarer werden, entwickelt Laura bizarre Symptome und als sich ihre Gesundheit verschlechtert, entdecken Laura und ihr Vater etwas Monströses. Carmilla wurde ursprünglich von 1871 bis 1872 veröffentlicht und inspirierte zahlreiche Adaptionen in Film, Oper und darüber hinaus, einschließlich der gleichnamigen Serie. Das Hörbuch basiert auf einer Übersetzung von Fritz Nordsieck aus dem Jahr 2021.
Due to an unfortunate series of events, a teenage girl named Carmilla is left in the care of a wealthy widower and his daughter, Laura. Laura, upon meeting the poor girl, comes to realize that she knows her face. Years prior when she was but a child, Laura was haunted by a presence in her room with the likeness of the young girl. Convinced it was just a nightmare, Laura and Carmilla become fast friends. But as Carmilla's stay continues, strange things begin to happen to the townspeople nearby. It's not until Carmilla disappears that Laura and her father discover the truth about their mysterious houseguest.

Synopsis :- Laura and her father live a quiet life in their remote castle in the dense forests Styria. It is a solitary existence for young Laura, who has no companionship except for her governess and the occasional visits of neighbouring gentry. Into this lonely life comes the mysterious house guest, Carmilla.
'One sign of the vampire is the power of the hand. The slender hand of Mircalla closed like a vice of steel on the General's wrist when he raised the hatchet to strike. But its power is not confined to its grasp; it leaves a numbness in the limb it seizes, which is slowly, if ever, recovered from.'
The following Spring my father took me a tour through Italy. We remained away for more than a year. It was long before the terror of recent events subsided; and to this hour the image of Carmilla returns to memory with ambiguous alternations—sometimes the playful, languid, beautiful girl; sometimes the writhing fiend I saw in the ruined church; and often from a reverie I have started, fancying I heard the light step of Carmilla at the drawing room door.
Carmilla published in 1872 was one of the first vampire novels and is certainly among the most sensuous with its strong lesbian overtones. It is a classic Gothic novella set deep in the enchanted forests of Styria; a land still haunted by superstition and of course vampires. Carmilla predates fellow Irishman Bram Stoker's Dracula by twenty-five years, and reading both, you will see the influence of Carmilla on Dracula
