Audible has commissioned a dramatization of Carmilla, a 19th century gothic vampire novella by J. Sheridan Le Fanu, starring David Tennant and Rose Leslie. The story, first published in 1872, pre-dates Bram Stoker’s Dracula by over two decades.

It is told through the eyes of occult doctor Dr Martin Hesselius, who is played by Tennant. Continue reading at 'The Bookseller'
