Best Bernadette Dunne Audiobooks
Bernadette Dunne is the narrator Shirley Jackson deserves — her readings of The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle are definitive, capturing Jackson's creeping dread and dark domestic humor with a voice that is both proper and deeply unsettling. She brings that same quality to Margaret Atwood's The Robber Bride, navigating complex female characters with intelligence and bite. Dunne's voice is clear, mature, and controlled, with an undertone of unease that makes her perfect for literary horror and psychological fiction. She handles the anthology 21st Century Dead with the same steady hand. Her delivery is never melodramatic — the horror comes from her composure. Listeners who love classic and contemporary literary horror will find Dunne's narration absolutely essential.
