Every Exquisite Thing Audiobook by Laura Steven— narrated by Felicity Bown
Laura Steven's YA reworking of The Picture of Dorian Gray drops a supermodel's daughter into an elite drama school where a portrait painter's gift starts killing his subjects one by one — a horror-thriller built for readers who like their vanity literalized and their bodies count rising.
Why the audiobook wins
Felicity Bown gives this a young, brittle energy that suits a horror-thriller set inside an elite drama school. Steven's reworking of Dorian Gray runs on social performance — who is watching, who is being flattered, who is next — and Bown handles the cattiness and the dread with the same voice, which is what makes the turn work.
Ten hours split across short chapters makes this a genuine binge listen, and the setting gives Bown a lot to play with: the auditions, the critiques, the rehearsal-room cruelty all read better performed than described. The horror arrives late and fast.
One Audible credit gets the whole portrait, and it is a good entry point if you want YA horror that takes its source material seriously rather than winking at it.
