Always Dead

About This Audiobook

M.L. Bullock’s *Always Dead* isn’t just another haunted house story—it’s a slow-burn psychological chiller where the ghosts don’t just linger; they *wait*. The novel unfolds through the eyes of a woman returning to her childhood home, only to find it’s already occupied by something that’s been there far longer than her family. Bullock’s prose is deliciously atmospheric, threading dread through every creaking floorboard and whispering windowpane. The real horror isn’t the ghosts themselves, but the way they insinuate themselves into the protagonist’s memories, making it impossible to tell what’s past and what’s present. Suzanne Elise Freeman’s narration is the secret weapon here—her voice shifts effortlessly between warmth and creeping unease, especially in moments where the supernatural edges into outright menace. Freeman doesn’t just read the lines; she *inhabits* them, making the listener feel the weight of every unspoken fear. The audiobook’s pacing is a masterclass in restraint, letting the tension simmer until it boils over without warning.
