A BLOOD AS BRIGHT AS THE MOON

Golden Voice Narrator Michael Crouch faces the challenge of foregrounding a character who's most comfortable fading into the background. Ambrose, a young runaway vampire, has settled in with a small clan of vampires at Frankenstein Castle in Germany. He's torn between his clan leader's vision of a haven for vampires on the moon and his own dream of finding a cure for the curse that turned him into a vampire. The talented Crouch brings Ambrose to life, ensuring that listeners care about the travails of a character who could have started out as an introverted cipher. By the conclusion of the novel, Crouch uses a more full-bodied voice to reflect Ambrose's growing self-confidence. This audiobook succeeds because Crouch's performance makes Ambrose someone to root for. D.E.M. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2025]
