À propos de cet audio
If you can hear it, it’s already too late . . .
Alone in the world, Elspeth Swansome takes the position of nanny to a family on the remote Scottish island of Skelthsea. Her charge, Mary, hasn’t uttered a word since the sudden death of her twin, William—just days after their former nanny disappeared. No one will speak of what happened to William. Just as no one can explain the hypnotic lullabies sung in empty corridors. Or the strange dolls that appear in abandoned rooms. Or the faint whistling that comes in the night . . .
As winter draws in and passage to the mainland becomes impossible, Elspeth finds herself trapped. But is this house haunted by the ghosts of the past? Or the secrets of the living?

Emma is the one that got away. The only survivor of a serial killer known in the tabloids as “The Hairdresser”, because of the trophies he takes from his victims. The police aren't convinced. Nor is her husband. She never actually saw her tormentor properly, but now she recognizes him in every man she sees. Haunted by the horrifying incident and unwanted notoriety, Emma gives up her job as a psychiatrist and retreats from the outside world to recuperate at home, where it’s quiet. Where she can be anonymous and safe. Where no one can hurt her.

For years, there have been whispers that, before his death, Van Gogh completed a final self-portrait. Curators and art historians have savored this rumor, hoping it could illuminate some of the troubled artist's many secrets, but even they have to concede that the missing painting is likely lost forever. But when Luke Perrone, artist and great-grandson of the man who stole the Mona Lisa, and Alexis Verde, daughter of a notorious art thief, discover what may be the missing portrait, they are drawn into a most epic art puzzles.

Widower Luke Driskell didn’t expect to fall in love and marry again so quickly. But Ashley and her daughter, Joy, are special—a quality borne out when Ashley rushes into a burning day-care center to save the children. Immediately she’s a social media sensation and hero. Then, just as suddenly, Ashley and Joy disappear into the bitterly cold night. With no trace of their whereabouts, Luke begins a panicked investigation. Alarmingly, he can find no proof that the woman he loves even exists. Left behind: just a hidden stash of fake IDs. Different names. Different cities. Same haunted face.

In this delightfully chilling collection, the iconic Jeanette Winterson turns her fearless gaze to the realm of ghosts, interspersing her own encounters with the supernatural alongside hair-raising fictions. Lifting the veil between the living and the dead, Winterson spirits us away to a haunted estate that ensnares a nomadic young couple in its own dark past, a staged immersive ghost tour gone awry, a West Village seance that threatens the bounds between AI and reality, and a vacation home in the metaverse where a widow visits an improved version of her deceased husband.

The narration— where do I start? Just for context, I am not a native speaker so the narration was, for me, a bit challenging to follow at first. That did not deter me though, as more and more I get to catch up and understand the story. Okay but more on a serious note. This narrator is one of the best I have listened too! While she was narrating the story, I could feel the ups and downs of the characters’ emotions— some of the books I listened to were a bit monotoned at times and does not vary as much throughout. The narration added a lot more eeriness and darkness to the book. I didn’t need to guess how the characters felt at the moment it fluctuates. Kudos to her, she is a great narrator!
Story, Narrator… It was just so good!

It’s like an amalgamation of every haunted house story cliche ever written. The only suspense is the MC’s thoughts telling us we should be creeped out. I still have 2 hours 40 mins left. I don’t plan on finishing it but who knows, maybe a morbid fascination to know if the ending made the tedium worth it will overcome me.
One good thing, I now have a crush on the narrator Lois Chimimba whose voice got me as far as I went.
Ok. Edit. I finished it. Do I regret it? Yes, yes I do. Love you Lois!
