Reading "Carmilla" — Chapter 5

From the archives!!

We read "Carmilla," by Sheridan le Fanu, in June of 2024. At the time of posting here (November 2025), we've just finished reading the other stories from le Fanu's collection, In a Glass Darkly, where "Carmilla" can also be found.

You can download this story for free from Project Gutenberg, if you'd like to read along! https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/10007

✨A reminder that my readings are unpracticed, cold reads. I may occasionally stumble over words or mispronounce things, or changes may occur in a character's voice over time. The emphasis is not on polished perfection; rather, on sharing the emotional journey of storytelling & literature. For these edited VODs, I have trimmed out the majority of interruptions and chit-chat, but may leave in some raw/emotional reactions to the stories! If you think you'd enjoy the unfiltered (and somewhat ADHD) diversions & conversations, we'd love to have you join us for the live streams!✨

I stream book reading on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday nights, both here and on Twitch. (www.twitch.tv/faolkor_thebookdragon)
