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.

narrator’s mindless, repetitive inflection ruins an otherwise good collection of stories
The stories are good, but the narrator repeatedly puts emphasis on the wrong parts of sentences making it clear she’s inflecting out of habit and not paying any attention to what she’s reading. In many cases the emphasis is so far off that it’s hard to decipher what she’s trying to say and she often does it so repetitively, inflecting every sentence the exact same way without regard for the sentence structure or meaning, that it has the same affect as someone annoyingly drumming their fingers on the table next to you when you’re trying to concentrate. She made it un-listenable for me.
