Model Actress Whatever

In this satirical audiobook by Kim Newman, Chrissie Chambers—an aspiring actress whose soap opera character is on the chopping block—embraces newfound supernatural powers after breaking free from her dieting constraints. As her aunt, the once-revered heroine Lady Shade, goes missing, Chrissie, alongside her ghost-possessed best friend Loulee, embarks on a daring mission into a chaotic asylum for supervillains. Set in a vibrant 2020s London where the Beatles never split, this darkly humorous tale explores themes of heroism and identity with Newman’s signature wit and sharpness.
