STARLING HOUSE

Natalie Naudus narrates the story of Opal, who is living in the desolate town of Eden, home to the mysterious Starling Mansion. The old house appeared on the day that the writer-illustrator of the gothic fantasy children's book THE UNDERLAND, Eleanor Starling, disappeared. Opal, who is providing for her brother, works for the current heir, Arthur Starling. Strange things are happening that involve them both. Naudus captures the angst and anger of Opal, who depends on her street smarts and tough attitude for survival. Likewise, Naudus conveys the loneliness and heartbreak of Arthur as he fights to protect those he loves from the evils of the mansion. Listeners will feel all the desperation and longing that make this story so engaging. L.M.G. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2023]
