About this listen

James Hume Nisbet (1849 - 1923) was born in Scotland but travelled extensively in Australia before returning to his native country. He became a writer in middle-age and wrote prolifically, mainly mystery and adventure fiction.

The Vampire Maid is a classic vampire story about a traveller who takes lodgings with an apparently kind landlady and her pale invalid daughter, who instantly casts a spell upon him.

It's a pretty short and generic vampire story. Perfectly serviceable if that's what you want, though! It's hardly a large time commitment and it's kinda nice to hear a vampire story played very straight. Just don't expect any extra bells and whistles on top of that.

Cathy Dobson's performance is sadly the weakest part for the package. She likes to speak with a very strange inflection and emphasis words that don't need to be emphasised.

If you like vampire stories and you want something quick and cheap I'd say go for it. Just don't expect 'The Vampire Maid' to be a lost gem among the Draculas and Carmillas out there.
