About This Audiobook

Dear Seraphina isn’t your average psychological thriller—it’s a sleek, escalating nightmare disguised as a glamorous actress’s diary. Avery Bishop crafts a chilling novella that drips with paranoia and power plays, where every compliment from an obsessed fan feels like a threat in disguise. The story follows a rising star whose seemingly flattering fan mail takes a sinister turn, blurring the line between devotion and danger. Bishop keeps the tension dial cranked from the first page, delivering sharp, cinematic prose that makes the audiobook feel like watching a high-stakes backstage drama. The short runtime? A masterclass in restraint—no wasted words, just relentless suspense packed into 90 minutes.

What sets this apart is its focus on the entertainment industry’s dark underbelly. Bishop nails the unsettling dynamic of a public figure trapped by her own success, where admiration curdles into entitlement. The audiobook’s dual narration by Therese Plummer and Jay Snyder amplifies the unease, with Plummer’s razor-sharp delivery nailing the protagonist’s fraying composure and Snyder’s deep, measured tones grounding the fan’s creeping menace. If you crave thrillers that feel like a fever dream with a Hollywood twist, this is your next obsession—just don’t expect to sleep afterward.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I devoured Dear Seraphina in a single sitting, and Therese Plummer’s performance is a big reason why. Her portrayal of the unnamed actress (we only know her as Seraphina) crackles with a fragile confidence that slowly unravels into terror. Plummer nails the emotional whiplash—one moment she’s soaking in admiration, the next she’s frozen by dread—while Jay Snyder’s fan feels eerily plausible, his voice dripping with feigned sincerity. The production itself is flawless; the snippets of media interviews and fan voicemails are seamlessly woven in, making the audiobook feel like a true-crime documentary about Hollywood gone wrong. That said, the ending left me wanting more. Bishop’s reveal is clever, but the payoff feels a tad too tidy for the chaos that precedes it. I also wish the fan’s backstory had been fleshed out—his motives feel underdeveloped next to the protagonist’s immediate spiral. Still, the pacing is impeccable, and the eerie atmosphere lingers long after the credits roll. If you’re a fan of psychological thrillers where the real monster wears a smile and an autograph book, this audiobook is a must-listen. Just prepare to second-guess every fan mail you’ve ever received.
