Who speaks like this?

Great short literature in the vampire genre, but this narrator's intonation is utterly bizarre. Misses the sense of the text, let alone subtext.

Delightfully Engaging Stories

I loved the stories in this audiobook! However, the intonation (rise and fall ) of the narrator were quite distracting and almost annoying. I pressed on anyway. Certain inflections on words (especially at the ends of sentences) often distracted from what was being said. Other than that, the stories were entertaining and interesting. I noticed Cathy Dobson appears in many horror/sci-fi audiobooks. As much as I love this genre, her narrating may affect whether or not I can listen or will even try.
