What Audible's New Dracula Audiobook Gets Wrong (Hint: It's Not the AI-Generated Renfield)
Controversy has been swirling around Audible's latest exclusive: a full-cast reading of Bram Stoker's Dracula starring, in the English edition, Jonathan Bailey and Ella Purnell. Detractors are skeptical of a separate "complimentary story" featuring an interactive AI-assisted rendition of the side-character Renfield, but The Meow Library has discovered an even more glaring issue with this otherwise ornate and comprehensive production: it is totally incomprehensible to your cat. While Audible has produced full English, French, Italian, Castilian Spanish, Latin American Spanish, German, and Brazilian Portuguese versions of the audiobook and its AI-assisted collateral, they have no plans at present of releasing a feline edition. To create a more equitable listening experience, The Meow Library is making the first chapter of Bram Stoker's Dracula available to your cat here.
