About This Audiobook

Imagine *Heathers* meets *Scream* with the snark of *Easy A*—that’s *How to Kill a Guy in Ten Dates*, a razor-sharp hybrid of horror and humor that’s as merciless as it is mischievous. Shailee Thompson crafts a protagonist you’ll root for despite her questionable life choices, a movie-obsessed protagonist whose dating disasters escalate from cringe to criminal. The twist? Every terrible date ends in death, and the body count is mounting fast. Thompson’s clever script juggles gore and giggles with the precision of a seasoned horror savant, making this far more than just another slasher spoof. The audiobook thrives on its dual narration, with Stefanie Kay and Patrick Zeller trading off seamless lines to capture the protagonist’s wit, the villain’s chills, and the sheer absurdity of dating in the age of bad Tinder dates turned deadly. It’s a fresh take on the genre—equal parts scream-along and rom-com, where every joke lands and every scare hits.

Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas

I started this with skepticism, expecting yet another slasher-romance mashup that leaned too hard on shock value or smarmy one-liners. Instead, I got a darkly hilarious, tightly plotted nightmare from start to finish. The narration duo of Stefanie Kay and Patrick Zeller elevate Thompson’s script into a full-bodied experience, their chemistry palpable as they switch between the protagonist’s sharp-tongued commentary and the villain’s sinister charm. Kay’s delivery cracks like a whip, especially in the protagonist’s sarcastic asides, while Zeller’s voice drips with menace when the body count rises. That said, the pacing stumbles slightly in the middle act—some deaths feel rushed, and the humor occasionally undercuts the mounting tension. The ending, though, is a knockout, landing both the emotional punch and the killer twist you crave. Production quality is top-tier, with clean audio and no distracting overlays, ensuring the story—not the tech—steals the spotlight.
