The First Ever ASMR Audiobook
Review of the Audible Original audiobook (April 2020), part of the Audible Sleep series

I've already used up the space of one review, about Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway (1925), to describe the ASMR experience, so I won't repeat that information here.

Although Woolf's book briefly describes the sensation, Whisperlodge's The Office (2020) is the first ever audiobook that is an actual ASMRtist performance to my knowledge. Narrator Will Watt taps or riffles through various office objects while also describing the history and the nature of the ASMR experience. He speaks in a soft-voiced tone instead of the whispered voice which is the most common in YouTube ASMRtist videos. I still found the resulting effect to be almost continuous throughout the audiobook, the ASMR tingles were constantly present but would peak in waves when a change of object was introduced.

The above will be a complete mystery to those who don't experience the sensation, but the effectiveness of the performance here earns an easy 5 star rating for its relaxation and euphoric qualities. ( )
