Sometimes there came a sensation as if a hand was drawn softly along my cheek and neck. Sometimes it was as if warm lips kissed me, and longer and longer and more lovingly as they reached my throat, but there the caress fixed itself. My heart beat faster, my breathing rose and fell rapidly and full drawn; a sobbing, that rose into a sense of strangulation, Introducing, as Laura, the narrator of Carmilla Louisa Thornton A talented and versatile performer, Louisaâs theatre credits include lead roles in Sharman McDonaldâs When We Were Women, Liz Locheadâs Perfect Days and Muriel Sparkâs The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.
