Tutti nel castello rimangono affascinati dalla straordinaria bellezza della giovane, ma le sue abitudini insolite e il comportamento enigmatico cominceranno presto a suscitare curiosità e inquietudine. I classici dell’orrore, riediti in chiave moderna e raccontati con musiche e suoni.

La protagonista, Laura, narra cómo su vida pasa de plácida y tranquila a desconcertante y espantosa cuando aparece Carmilla, una joven hermosa y enigmática.

Haunted by footsteps that never show their source and letters signed by a phantom stranger, Captain Barton’s quiet return to Dublin society descends into psychological torment. The Watcher is a chilling Gothic tale of spiritual vengeance, unrepentant guilt, and the inescapable shadow of the past. Written by supernatural master Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, this eerie tale weaves the story of a skeptic brought to the edge of madness by a figure who follows him through fog-drenched streets and nightmares alike.

The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown. These facts few psychologists will dispute, and their admitted truth must establish for all time the genuineness and dignity of the weirdly horrible tale as a literary form... As may naturally be expected of a form so closely connected with primal emotion, the horror-tale is as old as human thought and speech themselves.

In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country. Love is good. It’s positive, a source of joy, nourishment and all over goodness. But sometimes other more malevolent forces come to play. They infect that love, they see their form as better. Instinctively we would shy away but sometimes its pull is too powerful, almost attractive. We are drawn closer into the shadows.

Love. Perhaps the one word solution for everything. An emotion, a state of mind that we strive for, search for. A wondrous force that binds, inspires, and a force that can spin out of control; unbalanced and fragile. Love reflects, changes and embraces us all. The capture of love in this life is a very special happening, it may only strike us once, and for some perhaps never. But what if those on the ‘other side’ have designs on us? What if their desire is just so strong that we can’t resist? Can true love survive?

The moonlight spills like silver across ancient walls, and somewhere in the velvet darkness, a whisper stirs—a name, half-sighed, half-forgotten. Carmilla. A name as soft as a caress, as chilling as a shadow at the edge of the candle's glow. She does not knock at your door; she drifts through it like a dream. She is beauty wrapped in mystery, desire woven with dread. This is not a story of fangs bared in the night, nor of crude terrors lurking in the crypt. Carmilla is subtler, more intoxicating—a tale that shivers on the border between love and death, fascination and fear.
