About this listen

Perhaps the most brilliantly successful ghost story ever written, The Turn of the Screw creates a terrifyingly believable impression of innocent children so corrupted by evil that they remain deceptive pictures of innocent beauty. Their governess must struggle alone to confront and exorcise the demons which she believes possess their souls.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Enjoyed the classic story and narration but found the musical interludes detracting and unnecessary. Shame.

Classic story, shame about the music

A favourite of mine, dark and ambiguous. I must admit that I was seeking an unabridged version, as I already have a Talking Classics abridged adaptation in my Audible library. I didn't check properly, so that is on me, and I still very much enjoyed this book. I found a full-length version, and downloaded it, also.
