About This Audiobook

Alison Rumfitt’s *Tell Me I’m Worthless* isn’t just a horror story—it’s a reckoning. This novel doesn’t tiptoe around the ghostly; it screams into them, wrapping its claws around the suffocating weight of trans shame and the houses we build to contain our worst selves. The story follows two former friends, Alice and Beth, who reunite in a decaying Victorian home now repurposed as a haunted attraction. But the house isn’t just a stage for jump scares; it’s a sentient force that feeds on their internalized hatred, amplifying every insecurity until the walls weep. Rumfitt’s prose is razor-sharp, slicing through the static of identity politics to land brutal, laugh-out-loud observations masked as social horror. The result? A book that’s equal parts *Get Out* and *The Haunting of Hill House*, but with a trans lens that feels both urgent and painfully personal. Narrator Nicky Endres doesn’t just perform this book—she weaponizes it. Endres’ voice shifts between brittle sarcasm, guttural terror, and eerie, childlike whispers with the precision of a scalpel. Her performance turns the audiobook into a visceral experience, making the house’s presence feel like a third, malevolent character in the room.

Editor's Review ★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I started *Tell Me I’m Worthless* expecting a haunted house story with a trans twist, but what I got was a howl of a book—something between a catharsis and a punch to the gut. Endres’ narration is the reason this audiobook works as well as it does. She nails Alice’s venomous, self-loathing wit with the same ease as Beth’s quiet, desperate pleas for validation, making their dynamic feel like a living, breathing argument between two people who know just how to hurt each other. The production quality is impeccable, too; the sound design (when the house *reacts* to the characters) is subtle but unsettling, like hearing your own thoughts echo back at you from a room you’ve been avoiding for years. That said, the book’s pacing stumbles in Act Two, where the supernatural elements veer into abstract surrealism. Some listeners might find the shift jarring, especially if they’re here for traditional scares. The ending is also divisive—it’s not so much a resolution as a detonation, leaving you to decide whether it’s brilliant or just messy. But if you’re craving horror that doesn’t just scare you but *understands* you, this is your book. Endres’ performance ensures you’ll feel every word.
