About this audiobook

A young governess, a remote country estate, and a sinister presence that threatens the souls of the children in her care.


When an inexperienced young woman is hired to serve as the governess for two orphaned children—the beautiful, angelic Flora and the exceptionally charming Miles—she believes she has found an idyllic new life at the isolated Bly estate. But the summer sweetness quickly rots into a creeping dread. Apparitions of a strange, pale man and a mourning woman begin to haunt the grounds, fixing their menacing gazes upon the children. As the governess realizes the dead have returned with dark intentions, she becomes locked in a terrifying psychological battle. Is she the only one who sees the ghosts? Or are the sweet, silent children secretly colluding with the damned?


Why you will love this: If you crave the eerie atmosphere of a classic Gothic Fiction / Ghost Story, this masterclass in psychological terror will leave you breathless. Weaving supernatural suspense, unreliable narrator tropes, and creeping tension, this quintessential haunted house mystery defined the horror genre and remains an unparalleled listen for fans of atmospheric, slow-burn dread.
