About this listen
Editorial Reviews
Shirley Barthelmie gives a disquieting, captivating performance of the supernatural thriller Blood Sinister by best-selling author Celia Rees. Sixteen-year-old Ellen is dying of unknown causes. At her grandmother’s house, she discovers her great-grandmother’s enthralling diaries. She is the splitting image of her great-grandmother, who was to marry a mysterious and seductive count. Soon, her reality and the terrifying events of the diary become intertwined. As her illness gets worse, she wonders: Do the diaries hold the key to her cure?
Critic Reviews
"Rees knows how to make your blood curdle." (South China Sunday Post)
"Ellen has been ill for months, and no amount of testing can diagnose her illness. As she stays with her grandmother and reconnects with a childhood friend, this plucky, if sickly, teen discovers her ancestor's private diaries and learns that vampires are no legend. Shirley Barthelmie's narration is strong enough to articulate the flashbacks between present-day England and the Victorian era, so the listener can easily follow both story lines. Her Transylvanian accent is thick yet clear and falls just short of campy – which is perfectly appropriate for the story. Barthelmie's pace and emotional tones enhance a novel that balances horror, mystery, and romance." (AudioFile Magazine)
