Black Flame

De: Gretchen Felker-Martin

Narrado por: Dana Aronowitz

One woman's deadly obsession with a haunted archival film precipitates her undoing in Black Flame, from the USA Today bestselling author of Manhunt, Gretchen Felker-Martin.

“[Narrator Dana] Aronowitz's skillful portrayal of Ellen's breakdown will lead listeners to ponder if she can possibly survive this horrific experience...Aronowitz does a winning job of keeping all listeners involved.” — AudioFile

A cursed film. A haunted past. A deadly secret.

The Baroness, an infamous exploitation film long thought destroyed by Nazi fire, is discovered fifty years later. When lonely archivist Ellen Kramer—deeply closeted and pathologically repressed—begins restoring the hedonistic movie, it unspools dark desires from deep within her.

As Ellen is consumed by visions and voices, she becomes convinced the movie is real, and is happening to her—and that frame by frame, she is unleashing its occult horrors on the world. Her life quickly begins to spiral out of control.

Until it all fades to black, and all that remains is a voice asking a question Ellen can’t answer but can’t get out of her mind.

Narrator was great

The story was hard to get through. Came across intense with various emotions. Did hit the horror level I was looking for.

a "good for you" sapphic horror

I really enjoyed this book. its a short read but it is jam packed with story. The imagery made me cringe a little and the flat narration during intense parts made it even more disturbing

Like the Baroness, this gripped me and wouldn't let go

The descriptions of everything was so intense in the best way possible. There was no point where I was bored or wanted to skip ahead. The mixture of history, gay culture, and horror was perfection.

I wish the narrator spoke German.

Wonderful, satisfying book. Titillating and strange and inescapable. A good quick listen with a lot of punch.
