About this listen

Two delightfully dark tales of Gothic romance from Elizabeth Hunter and Grace Draven.

In A Very Proper Monster, Josephine Shaw spends long nights filling the pages of her Gothic stories with the fantastic and the macabre, unaware that the suitor her father has arranged is one of the dark creatures she's always dreamed. For Tom Dargin, courting an ailing spinster was only one duty in a long life of service to his sire. But after he meets the curious Miss Shaw, will Tom become the seducer or the seduced? Can a love fated to end in tragedy survive a looming grave?

In Gaslight Hades, Nathaniel Gordon walks two worlds - that of the living and the dead. Barely human, he's earned the reputation of a Bonekeeper, the scourge of grave robbers. He believes his old life is over, until one dreary burial he meets the woman he once loved and almost married. Lenore Kenward stands at her father's grave, begging the protection of the mysterious guardian, not knowing he is her lost love. Resolved to keep his distance, Nathaniel is forced to abandon his plan and accompany Lenore on a journey into the mouth of Hell where sea meets sky, and the abominations that exist beyond its barrier wait to destroy them.

Fabulous stories. Great performance, my only whine is that for the first story, Gabrielle has so many pauses that it became distracting. Maybe she was portraying the tuberculosis of the heroin that way but I felt like it was too often. For Gaslight Hades she was much smoother. I had a bunch of fun with both stories.

very fun!

The two short stories are amazing. I like a lot.

I bought this book for Grace Draven, having never heard of Elizabeth Hunter. What a beautiful surprise Elizabeth turned out to be! And as always, Gabrielle Baker's narration brought me to tears and laughter. I will be forever grateful to Grace Draven for introducing me to another wonderful author.

Unexpected Treasure ❤️

2 of my favorite authors write deeply romantic, very imaginative stories. Don't miss this treat.

It is VERY seldom I have to return a book. Especially one that is part of a series I fully enjoy. I will persevere thru the worst of them if at all possible, but this switch in narrator from Dina Pearlman to Gabrielle Baker was something I couldn't deal with. It completely changed all the known characters for me and I felt like I was in being read to by the school librarian. Plus, she has a very pronounced lisp which was just too distracting to overlook. I will have to put this one on kindle and read it instead.

Couldn't get passed the first two chapters

ok, who chooses a narrator for a Gothic romance with a lisp . seriously?
I understand, I'm not being very P.C. at this moment but, this is supposed to be fantasy romance of the perfect man.
picture this... a sizzling sexy vampire... with a lisp.
sorry, couldn't get over that hurdle.
the stories were good, the speech impediment was glaring.

oh , ugg the narrator....

I enjoyed Ms. Hunter's story of Tom & Josie. The plot, storyline, and character development were very well done. The story was a bit predictable but romance stories usually have a HEA. I tried but could not get into Ms. Donovan's story. I really struggled with the slow build up. I'm usually a big fan of her writing, but not this time

Combined

Enjoyed the stories themselves, but it was hard to get past the narrator's lisp. She has a lovely British accent, but a very evident and fairly pervasive th/s lisp that taints the entire reading. it was annoying and I almost returned the book. I managed to make it through the first story (I've read the whole book, so I can say that both stories were interesting). I'm debating on trying to get through the rest.

Great Stories. Narrator Lisps Notably Throughout.

I bought this book because of Elizabeth Hunters story, A Very Proper Monster, which I loved. This is the first story by Grace Draven but will not be the last. It kept me truly riveted. I wish the book was still available in kindle. However, each story is now available as seperate books but audible version is only in this compilation. Gaslight Hades by Grace Draven and A Very Proper Monster by Elizabeth Hunter. Purchase the audible version it is well worth it.

Loved both stories

This is one I think ill have to read. My commute to work is long and I love being able to listen to books as I drive. That being said, I could not get into this performance. It sounds like it was recorded in someone's bathroom and the narrator has a very irritating lisp now, I'm not down on people with speech impediments, but when you're a professional narrator those impediments cause great distraction. I simply was not able to enjoy the narration.

Couldn't get past the first chapter-poor narration
