Audible to test AI bonus episodes for talking with Dracula's Renfield

Audible will test interactive stories, short bonus episodes set outside a book's narrative, later in autumn 2026. Listeners can hold a spoken exchange with a character. The first follows Renfield from Bram Stoker's Dracula and combines generative AI, conversational design and studio sound. The test in beta, meaning a limited release, covers the US and Britain.
