Lexington, Massachusetts May 7, 2026 (Issuewire.com) To celebrate Pride Month with sapphic passion, Immoral Influence Publications (IIP) is releasing its fifth audiobook on June 23 2026. The audiobook for That Lesbian Vampire Pirate Story by Raven Belasco will be performed by Award-Winning Voice Artists Carmen Seantel and Hel.
That Lesbian Vampire Pirate Story was a surprise hit this past summer, introducing Belascos Blood & Ancient Scrolls series to a new audience of enthusiastic readers. Now audiobook fans will get the same introduction, via the iconic characters Sadie the Goat and Gallus Mag, from New York Citys ruthless and exhilarating history.
Carmen Seantel is a nominee for a 2026 SOVAS in Outstanding Sci-Fi Audiobook Narration, Book Fest Award winner, inaugural Ana Ats Deadline Pathfinder Award winner and Favorite New Narrator in the 2024 Sultry Listeners Awards.
Hel is a voice actor and a dark fantasy audiobook narrator who made her splash with the Eldritch Depths series by S.M. Campbell along with over 15 books and audio dramas. In addition to being part of MacMillan’s New Narrator program, she was also a nominee for Sultry Listeners award in 2025.
That Lesbian Vampire Pirate Story is some of the most fun I’ve ever had in the studio. Im honored to bring Belasco’s work to audio, Seantel said. The characters are unique and fascinating, the banter is hilarious, made even better with my co-narrator Hels talent, and the story never experiences a dull moment. This fast-paced romp is something I have listened to repeatedly to make an average commute go by faster.
Getting to voice Belascos vivacious characters was such a delight! I loved how much personality they had and was incredibly honored to get to embody them alongside my fantastic co-narrator, Carmen Seantel. There was never a dull moment in the booth, Hel revealed.
I am so excited to get to work with these two deeply talented performers, Belasco said. Both Carmen and Hel are brand new to the world of the amr, and I wanted fresh voices for Sadie and Gallus Mag. I cant wait for fans of the series to hear these characters be brought to life by performers who are so passionate about the project.
That Lesbian Vampire Pirate Story is a novelette in the Blood & Ancient Scrolls Series. This fresh exploration of vampire myth brings a new vitality to the genre and also checks boxes for dark urban fantasy, horror, history, and action-adventure fans, with a splash of queer romance. It speaks to fans of Our Flag Means Death, and to those who loved Gangs of New York.
