Barbie meets Scream with a 90s nostalgia twist in this horror romp from Bless Your Heart author Lindy Ryan. This program is read by award-winning narrator Stephanie Németh-Parker.
"[Narrator] Stephanie Németh-Parker exhibits superb range in this dialogue-heavy story. Each character's voice is impressively distinguishable, from Ducey sucking on caramel candies to the lip-smacking, slow-talking coroner and the rasping cries of the reanimated dead." -Library Journal on Bless Your Heart
Horror author Jill has just moved to suburban New Jersey, hoping to fit in with the new PTA moms and maybe not weird everyone out with her Final Girl coffee mug. You know. Make some real friends.
But then a plastic face-masked serial killer begins slashing their way through town, one overly made-up mom at a time. The police are incredulous. The moms are indignant. And Jill is slowly wrapped into a killer's murderous spree, until she might just be the last woman standing.
A delightfully murderous novel that is equal parts scathing and salacious, Dollface will win you over with its gossip and gore, one body at a time.
"A whimsical, bloody, unsettling suburban slasher with an unexpected twist." – New York Times bestselling author Delilah S. Dawson
"[Narrator Stephanie Németh-Parker's] drawn-out exhalations when the dead speak make them delightfully eerie, while her deliberate mouth sounds for the coroner will make listeners as uncomfortable with him as the characters are. Best of all, her vocal choices for all the suspects give nothing away about who is actually causing all the mayhem." -AudioFile on Bless Your Heart
